Abstract
Wilson's Disease is an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by mutation in the ATP7B gene which impairs copper excretion from the bile. Impaired copper transport and decrease copper secretion into bile which leads copper accumulation, first in the liver but ultimately in the brain and other tissues, produces clinical manifestations that may include hepatic, neurological, psychiatric and ophthalmological. Treatment is only palliative and intended to restore and maintain copper balance.
