Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and Neurology
  • Genetic Metabolic Disorders

Background:

  • Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired copper excretion.
  • Copper toxicity can lead to severe liver damage and neurological dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and phenotypic classification of Wilson disease.
  • To discuss the underlying mechanisms, clinical presentations, and treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of findings from a 2003 international consensus conference.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on Wilson disease pathogenesis and clinical management.

Main Results:

  • Genetically determined failure of copper elimination leads to toxicity.
  • Wilson disease presents with diverse liver and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

  • An internationally accepted scoring system for diagnosis is available.

    • Conclusions:

    • Wilson disease should be considered in unexplained liver or neuropsychiatric conditions.
    • Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential for patient outcomes.
