Abstract
Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper
transport which map to chromosome 13q14.3, characterized by the
toxic accumulation of copper in a number of organs, particularly the
liver and brain [1,2]. Named after the Samuel Kinnear Wilson who
identified it in 1912, WD disease is also known as “hepatolenticular
degeneration”.
Wilson disease is often fatal if not recognized and treated when
symptomatic. The main hepatic dysfunctions are present and may
manifest as acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis and
fulminant hepatic failure [3,4].
