Abstract
Wilson’s disease (WD), or hepatolenticular degeneration, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a reduction in the synthesis of the copper transporter protein ceruloplasmin. The outcome of this genetic defect is the accumulation of copper in body tissues and consequent hepatic and neurological impairment.
