Investigation of the Wilson gene ATP7B transcriptional start site and the effect of core promoter alterations
Abstract Pathogenic genetic variants in the ATP7B gene cause Wilson disease, a recessive disorder of copper metabolism showing a significant variability in clinical phenotype. Promoter mutations have been rarely reported, and controversial data exist on the site of transcription initiation (the core...
