Investigation of Dynamic Thiol/Disulfide Homeostasis and Nitrosative Stress in Patients with Wilson Disease

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021
Background: Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper (Cu2+) metabolism, resulting in Cu2+ accumulation and liver and central nervous system toxicity.

Direct Measurement of ATP7B Peptides is Highly Effective in the Diagnosis of Wilson Disease

open access: yesGastroenterology, 2021
Background and Aims: Both existing clinical criteria and genetic testing have significant limitations for the diagnosis of Wilson’s Disease (WD) often creating ambiguities in patient identification leading to delayed diagnosis and ineffective management.

Dystonic Dysarthria in Wilson Disease: Efficacy of Zolpidem

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
Wilson disease (WD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by copper overload in the liver and the brain. Neurological presentations are mainly related to the accumulation of copper in the basal ganglia, the brainstem, and the cerebellum. Dysarthria is

Wilson protein expression, copper excretion and sweat production in sweat glands of Wilson disease patients and controls

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2008
Background In Wilson disease, copper is not sufficiently excreted into bile due to the absence or malfunction of the Wilson protein copper ATPase in the excretory pathway of hepatocytes. Copper is found in sweat. It is unknown if the Wilson protein plays

Ophthalmological findings in movement disorders

open access: yesAnnals of Movement Disorders, 2021
Ocular manifestations form an important clinical component of several movement disorders. Both hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders can involve the eye. Ophthalmological manifestations can arise due to dysfunction at the level of retina, optic

Wilson disease

open access: yesMedical Electron Microscopy, 2002
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of copper metabolism, characterized by the accumulation of copper in the body due to defective biliary copper excretion from hepatocytes. Recently, novel components involved in copper metabolism, including Menkes disease protein (ATP7A), Wilson disease protein (ATP7B), and copper chaperones ...

Hepatitis A, a potential life-threatening condition in small children with Wilson disease – a case report [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Introduction. Hepatitis A is the most common cause of acute hepatitis in children. Wilson disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that can result in chronic liver disease. Hepatitis A may be a trigger in the onset of WD.
