Wilson’s Disease Overview
Wilson’s Disease is a rare, inherited genetic disorder characterized by impaired copper metabolism, leading to toxic copper accumulation in vital organs, primarily the liver and brain. Caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, the condition results in progressive hepatic damage, neurological symptoms, and psychiatric disturbances if left untreated. Common signs include jaundice, tremors, speech difficulties, and the presence of Kayser-Fleischer rings in the eyes. Early diagnosis through clinical evaluation, biochemical tests, and genetic analysis is crucial to prevent irreversible organ damage. Lifelong treatment, including chelating agents and zinc therapy, helps remove excess copper and maintain copper balance for improved health outcomes.
