Detection of a rare Wilson disease mutation associated with arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency
1999
We have studied a patient with Wilson disease (WD), belonging to a family segregating late-onset, dominant cerebellar ataxia. Analysis of the WD gene showed that the patient is a compound heterozygote, carrying the 14His1069Gln mutation from the father and the 8Gly710Ser mutation from the mother. The 8Gly710Ser is a mutation described previously only in a Swedish patient. Our patient is also homozygous for arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency. This genetic defect, which has been reported in association with other neuropsychiatric syndromes, has not been described in WD. Am. J. Med. Genet. 85:175–178, 1999. © 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
