Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper excess. This illness results from mutations of the ATP7B gene chromosome 13. The discovery of the gene allowed a better understanding of cytosolic copper trafficking its relationship with ceruloplasmin synthesis. Symptomatic patients may present with hepatic, neurologic or psychiatric forms.

Spinal Involvement in Charge Syndrome: Implications for Management
ABSTRACT CHARGE syndrome (OMIM #214800) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the CHD7 gene in most cases. Although originally defined by the CHARGE acronym (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, growth restriction, genital hypoplasia, and ear anomalies), the recognized phenotype has expanded considerably to include highly ...

A Case of Wilson’s Disease Mimicking Malignancy
Wilson’s disease is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper metabolism that causes various degrees of hepatic and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The condition is due to mutations in the ATP7B gene localized to arm 13q.

In Kinnier Wilson’s textbook,1 he writes about the disease that bears his name: “My monograph of 1912 described a disease unknown to the medical profession at that time”. While summarising the essential features he emphasises the familial but not congenital nature of the illness, which lasted a few months in acute cases, many years in chronic cases ...

Patient‐Derived Fibroblasts as a Clinically Relevant Model of Kearns–Sayre Syndrome
Objective Kearns–Sayre syndrome (KSS) is characterized by single large‐scale mitochondrial DNA deletions and by severe early‐onset clinical manifestations with neurological involvement. Reliable disease models, as well as validated biomarkers or effective treatments, are lacking.

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...
