Wilson’s disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by ATP7B pathogenic variants. This study aimed to show the geographical distribution and haplotype spectrum of three prevalent pathogenic variants (p.R778L, p.P992L, p.T935M) in mainland Chinese population and clarify whether the founder effect may account for their origins. We firstly summarized the frequency and geographical distribution of p.R778L, p.P992L and p.T935M in 715 WD patients. Then, to construct haplotypes associated with the three variants, Sanger sequencing and microsatellite typing at three dinucleotide-repeat markers (D13S314, D13S301, D13S316) flanking the ATP7B gene were performed in 102 WD families. An obvious regional-specific distribution feature was found in p.T935M. Linkage disequilibrium at the three markers was shown in all the three variants and we found the common haplotypes specific for p.R778L, p.P992L and p.T935M respectively, represented successively by 10-7-7, 10-9-5 and 12-4-8, which all exhibited great significance vs. the control chromosomes (p < 0.01). Meanwhile, haplotypes for the three variants differed from the studies in other regions to some extent. The common haplotypes we found indicate that three prevalent pathogenic variants emerge due to the founder effect. Furthermore, the study contributes to expand our knowledge of the genetic diversity of WD from a cross-regional perspective.

A disorder of copper metabolism at Wilson’s disease (WD), conditioned by a mutation of adenosine thriphospate P-type gene (ATP7B), results in irreversible changes in the liver and in the nervous system. Mortality is high at WD, but it is one of hereditary diseases, well subjected to the therapy. The disease is manifested in the early age, but its clinical course in children is symptomless that essentially complicates diagnostics. A single reliable method is genetic analysis for revealing mutations in ATP7B gene. The aim of the work was to analyze clinical manifestations and course of Wilson’s disease cases, genetically verified in children by detecting mutations of ATP7B gene. The research group included children of 6-17 years old with different injury degrees of the hepatobiliary system. According to results of the molecular-genetic analysis, the most spread allele variant of ATP7B gene (H1069Q) in Europe was confirmed in 10 patients of child age, including 4 cases of homozygosity. In 10 cases of the confirmed diagnosis of Wilson’s disease in child age in 100% (in all 10) of persons, a clinical manifestation was characterized by disorders from the hepatobiliary system, and only in 1 (10 %) – changes from the nervous system. At raising the level of transaminase in children, even at the normal bilirubin level and negative tests for viral hepatitis, it is recommended to carry out genetic testing for Wilson’s disease
