Cirrhosis was detected during routine examination at the age of 24 and was accompanied by reduced serum ceruloplasmin levels. At the age of 27, she gradually developed tremors and dystonia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed abnormal signals in the basal ganglia. Genetic testing for\n                      <jats:italic>ATP7B<\/jats:italic>\n                      was performed on the patient and her family members.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Genetic testing revealed that the patient harbored compound heterozygous variants, including a previously reported c.1543+40G&amp;gt;A variant and a novel c.837delT variant in exon 2, which has not been previously reported. The c.1543+40G&amp;gt;A variant is registered in the ClinVar database with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity (likely pathogenic\/likely benign), The c.837delT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift (p.Ile279Metfs*5), introducing a premature termination codon, and is thus likely to impair the function of the copper-transporting P-type ATPase.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We identified a novel deletion variant in a Wilson disease patient harboring compound heterozygous variants in\n                      <jats:italic>ATP7B<\/jats:italic>\n                      .
