Description Wilson disease (WD) results from accumulation of copper and caused due to mutations in ATP7B, a copper
transporting ATPase. Besides regular hepatic and neurological symptoms, WD patients occasionally manifest atypical
symptoms due to unknown cause. To understand the molecular etiology of atypical WD manifestations, we screened
COMMD1, a gene implicated in canine copper toxicosis, in 109 WD patients including those with atypical symptoms. In
a patient showing apoptotic symptoms and high urinary copper surpassing normal WD levels, we identified a novel,
putative mutation in COMMD1. Two other changes were also identified in the gene. We have examined genotypephenotype
correlation between the detected changes and the atypical presentation of the WD patient.
