Determination of the frequencies of ten allelic variants of the Wilson disease gene (ATP7B), in pooled DNA samples

Abstract: Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by toxic accumulation of copper in liver, brain and other organs. The disorder is caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, encoding a copper transporting P-type ATPase. Based on the number of known patients with this diagnosis in Sweden, the prevalence can be estimated to 1 in 250 000 to 300 000, whereas the prevalence of Wilson disease has been estimated to be 1 in 30 000 in other populations. We estimated the prevalence of

“…Traditionally, quantitative SNuPE analyses have been performed using gel-based methods [Singer-Sam et al, 1992] or solid-phase assays [Syvänen et al, 1993;Karttunen et al, 1996;Olsson et al, 2000], but these methods are technically demanding and/or time consuming. Recently, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) [Hoogendoorn et al, 2000;Xiao and Oefner, 2001] and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) [Ross et al, 2000] have been introduced to overcome these limitations.…”

“…Препаратом выбора и золотым стандартом лечения является D-пеницилламин (купренил), образующий с медью хелат-ные соединения. В лечении болезни Вильсона -Коновало-ва используют витамины В1 и В6, так как избыток меди бло-кирует их активность [8,11,22,23]. К сожалению, в ряде слу-чаев при применении купренила возможно развитие побоч-ных эффектов, в частности волчаночноподобного синдрома.…”
