  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Genetical analysis was performed for 20 families with Wilson's disease of childhood.

By applying both Haldane s formula and the formula for "single ascertainment" it was con-cluded that the mode of inheritance in Wil-son's disease of childhood is very probably autosomal single recessive as of adult. an epidemiological investigation revealed that the patients and the heterozygotes of the disease were distributed all over Japan. By applying Dahlberg's formula, gene frequency and the incidence of the patients in Japan is estimated at 0.0033 to and 1.9 to 6.8×10-5 respectively of 80 patients, who have been reported since 1955 in the Japanese literature 56 had developed the hepatic or neurological symptoms under the age of 15 years. The true cause for the earlier onset of the disease in Japanese patients is not known, although it is probable that some genetical and envir-onmental factors, such as high copper content of the diets, play a role.
