CONCLUSIONS
1) The difference variants of the CP gene contribute to
a WD-like phenotype in clinically confirmed WD patients
with neurological symptoms and without pathogenic variants
in the ATP7B gene, but for confirmation, a larger study
group is required; 2) no changes were found in the ATOX1
gene that would cause functional changes of the protein; 3)
no statistically significant differences were found between
allele and genotype frequencies in the COMMD1 gene and
the first clinical manifestations of WD; 4) allelic variants
in the ATOX1 and COMMD1 genes do not modify the
clinical manifestation of WD in Latvian patients.
