AbstractWilson disease (WD), an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport, is the most common inherited liver disorder in Hong Kong Chinese. This was the first local study to elucidate the molecular basis and establish an effective DNA-based diagnostic protocol. The ATP7B genes of 65 patients were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. Haplotype analysis was performed using D13S301, D13S314, and D13S316. The p.L770L/p.R778L status in 660 subjects was determined to estimate WD prevalence. Allele age of p.R778L was determined by the smallest homozygosity region between D13S301 and D13S270. We identified 42 different mutations with 17 being novel. p.R778L (17.3%) was the most prevalent. Exons 2, 8, 12, 13, and 16 harbored 70% mutations. Thirty-two haplotypes were associated with WD chromosomes. The estimated prevalence rate was 1 in 5,400. Three out of 660 normal subjects had p.L770L/p.R778L. In the remaining 657 individuals, neither p.L770L nor p.R778L was found. We characterized a Hong Kong Chinese-specific ATP7B mutation spectrum with great genetic diversity. Exons 2, 8, 12, 13, and 16 should be screened first. The perfect linkage disequilibrium suggested that p.R778L and its private polymorphism p.L770L originated from a single ancestor. This East-Asian-specific mutation p.R778L/p.L770L is aged at least 5,500 years. © 2007 The Japan Society of Human Genetics and Springer.
