Copper accumulation in the basal ganglia, disrupts dopaminergic pathways, contributing to dystonia\u2019s development via neurotransmitter imbalance. Despite advances in diagnosis and management, WD with dystonia remains a challenging condition to treat. We aim to report the unprecedented co-occurrence of pathogenic genetic variants in both the ATP7B and KMT2B genes in a patient with WD. A 13-year-old male presented at 12 with dysarthria and bilateral Kayser-Fleischer rings. Over months, dystonia spread to his left foot, upper limb, and trunk, accompanied by slowed daily activities. Diagnostic tests included MRI for brain structure, abdominal ultrasound for liver function, serum ceruloplasmin and copper levels to assess copper metabolism, and 24-hour urine copper tests for excretion levels. Whole exome sequencing was conducted using genomic DNA from peripheral blood samples. Variant classification followed guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. The sequencing revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the ATP7B gene: NM_000053.4:c.2165dupT and NM_000053.4:c.813C&gt;A. A pathogenic variant in the KMT2B gene, NM_014727:c.3052delA, was identified. This case highlights WD co-occurrence with ATP7B and KMT2B mutations, suggesting KMT2B as a potential genetic modifier.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09727531241286272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,18]],"date-time":"2024-11-18T07:28:57Z","timestamp":1731914937000},"page":"277-282","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Unprecedented Co-occurrence: Identification of a Pathogenic Genetic Variant in the KMT2B Gene in a Wilson Disease Patient with a Pathogenic ATP7B Mutation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Mukesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, New Delhi, India"},{"name":"Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aminu","family":"Aliyar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arti","family":"Saini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sridhar","family":"Sivasubbu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, New Delhi, India"},{"name":"Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vinod","family":"Scaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, New Delhi, India"},{"name":"Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0641-7398","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Divya M","family":"Radhakrishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roopa","family":"Rajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0933-4691","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Binukumar","family":"BK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, New Delhi, India"},{"name":"Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09727531241286272","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.30911"},{"key":"bibr2-09727531241286272","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4081\/965"},{"key":"bibr3-09727531241286272","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2016.10.010"},{"key":"bibr4-09727531241286272","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkx1153"},{"key":"bibr5-09727531241286272","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-020-66099-2"},{"key":"bibr6-09727531241286272","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nyas.12372"}],"container-title":["Annals of Neurosciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/09727531241286272","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/09727531241286272","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/09727531241286272","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T10:59:34Z","timestamp":1777373974000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/09727531241286272"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/09727531241286272"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/09727531241286272","relation":{},"ISSN":["0972-7531","0976-3260"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0972-7531","type":"print"},{"value":"0976-3260","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]}}}
