The utility of whole exome sequencing in diagnosing Wilson disease: A case report
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, resulting in toxic copper accumulation in the body. Diagnosis is typically based on biochemistries, including low serum ceruloplasmin and elevated 24‐h urine copper excretion, with Kayser–Fleischer (KF) rings being a supportive ...
