[A simple and rapid method for detection of the 106Gln mutation in Wilson-Konovalov disease].
A simple and rapid method for detecting the 1069Gln mutation in gene ATP7B based on a PCR specific for this allele has been developed. The 1069Gln mutation is the main cause of Wilson disease (WD) in Russia and accounts for approximately 40% of all mutant alleles of gene ATP7B. Therefore, the method proposed makes the postnatal and prenatal diagnosis of Wilson disease in Russia considerably more rapid and less expensive.
