Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by ATP7B pathogenic variants. This study aimed to show the geographical distribution and haplotype spectrum of three prevalent variants (p.R778L, p.P992L, p.T935M) in mainland Chinese population clarify whether founder effect may account for their origins. We firstly summarized frequency p.R778L, p.P992L p.T935M 715 WD patients. Then, construct haplotypes associated with variants, Sanger sequencing microsatellite typing at...

Abstract Background Wilson's disease (WD) currently lacks a promising indicator that could reflect neurological impairment and monitor treatment outcome. We aimed to investigate whether serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) functions as candidate for assessment monitoring of WD. Methods assessed preclinical manifested WD patients' sNfL levels compared controls analyzed the differences between patients with various clinical symptoms. then explored correlation scales levels. And repeated...
