ABSTRACT
Background Wilson's disease is a rare entity with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, due to mutations in the ATP7B gene, which causes the accumulation of copper in tissues and organs. More than 800 polymorphisms are reported in the literature.Objective to identify the p.K952L polymorphism in Cuban patients with a presumptive clinical diagnosis of Wilson's disease.
Methods a descriptive study was carried out at the Medical Genetics National Center and the Gastroenterology National Institute, which included 35 patients with a Wilson's disease clinical diagnosis. DNA extraction was by saline precipitation technique; and the amplification of the fragment of interest, by means of the Polymerase Chain Reaction technique. In addition, the Simple Chain Conformational Polymorphism technique was used to determine the conformational changes and the presence of the p.K952L polymorphism.
Results in exon 12 the conformational changes called b and c were identified, which corresponded to the polymorphism p.K952L in the heterozygous and homozygous state, respectively. The allelic frequency of the p.K952L polymorphism was 38.6%. The most frequent manifestations in patients with this polymorphism were liver.
Conclusion The p.K952L polymorphism was identified in 21 Cuban patients with a clinical diagnosis of Wilson's disease, which makes it possible to extend molecular studies by indirect methods.
