Abstract
En 中文
A 53-year-old Chinese man presented with dysarthria and gait instability. Initially diagnosed with Wilson’s disease (WD), he showed no response to penicillamine. His parents were first cousins. On admission, examination revealed cerebellar ataxia without Kayser–Fleischer rings. Laboratory findings showed undetectable ceruloplasmin (<0.02 g/L; 0.20–0.60), elevated ferritin (1996 ng/mL; 24–336), and low serum copper (<63 µg/L; 750–$1450). Whole-exome sequencing identified a homozygous CP c.1944C>G(p.Ser648Arg) variant, confirming aceruloplasminaemia (ACP).
