| Core Tip |
We report on the genotype-phenotype of 36 Lebanese patients with Wilson’s disease from 13 different families. The majority were homozygous for disease-causing mutations. The most common mutation worldwide, His1069Trp, was absent in our patients. The ATP hinge region may comprise a hot spot for mutations, as it was detected in 4 families. Hepatic phenotypes were predominant in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Neurologic phenotypes were rare. Compared to findings reported in regional Arab and non-European countries, our results do not support a founder effect. Mutations are scattered over 17 exons, with no common or frequent mutation characterizing the region. |
