Purpose:To prospectively investigate the incidence and prevalence of Wilson disease (WD) in Chinese Han population in Anhui Province, to analyze the genetic mutations in individuals with WD, and to provide basic epidemiological data regarding WD in this Chinese Han population.Methods:Between November 2008 and June 2010, individuals aged from 7 to 75 years were screened for the cornea K-F ring in both eyes using slit lamp examination and random sampling methods based on age stratification and cluster level 1. The participants were from Anhui Province's Hanshan County, Jinzhai County, and Lixin County. The clinical manifestations of the brain, liver, kidney, skin, and other organs in each individual were also determined. Individuals with positive K-F rings and clinical manifestations indicative of WD underwent copper biochemistry evaluations, abdominal ultrasound testing, and ATP7B gene mutation screening to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of WD.Results:Of 153,370 individuals investigated in this study, nine were diagnosed with WD. In these WD individuals, three cases had neurological symptoms, one has hepatic symptoms, one was hepatic and neurological combined, and the other four cases were presymptomatic. Of the eight individuals in whom genetic mutations were detected, seven individuals had mutations in the ATP7B gene. The other individual had no ATP7B gene mutations but her copper biochemical test results met the diagnostic criteria for WD. The incidence and prevalence of WD in this population were approximately 1.96/100,000 and 5.87/100,000 respectively.Conclusions:The Chinese Han population had a higher average prevalence of WD than the populations of the United States or Europe.
OBJECTIVE:To identify the incidence and morbidity rates of hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD) at Hanshan County, Anhui Province.METHODS:According to the principles of age stratification, cluster and random sampling, a total of 112 810 subjects were screened by cornea slit-lamp examination during the period of November 2008 to October 2009. The subjects were from recruited from schools, factories, communities, institutions and villages at Hanshan County. And they belonged to the age group of 7 - 75 years. At the same time, each subject was evaluated by the clinical examination with regards to the presence of such clinical manifestations as brain, liver, kidney, skin and other organ damage. And the examinations of copper biochemistry and abdominal ultrasound were performed for those subjects with K-F rings or their clinical manifestations suspicious of HLD. In order to confirm or exclude HLD, the penicillamine challenge test (PCT) was performed if necessary.RESULTS:Seven HLD patients had a definite diagnosis of HLD. There were classical Wilson type (n = 1), pseudosclerosis type (n = 1), mental disorder type (n = 1), liver type (n = 1) and presymptomatic (n = 3). The incidence rate was 2.66/100 000 and the prevalence rate 6.21/100 000 at Hanshan County, Anhui Province.CONCLUSION:HLD is a common disease. In order to avoid a misdiagnosis and prevent an incorrect treatment, physicians should pay more attention to this curable disease and try their best to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
