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. Declaration of Interest. The authors report no conflicts of interest. The authors alone are responsible for the content and writing of this article. Funding. This study was partially financed by a grant of Riga Stradiņš University, Department of Doctoral studies and grant of Roche Academy. REFERENCES 1.
