A case report of Wilson’s disease
Abstract
Wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive disorder
affecting copper metabolism. It is due to the mutation in
ATP7B gene that codes for ATPase protein which facilitates
the hepatic excretion of copper. Accumulation of copper
affects tissues such as liver, brain, spleen, eyes and kidneys
producing pathological changes resulting in clinical
manifestations. Treatment with D-Penicillamine and Zinc
brings out improvement.
