Wilson’s disease is a rare disease and is named after
Kinnear Wilson who was the first to describe this disorder in 1912. His
description terms the disease as a “progressive lenticular degeneration,” a hereditary,
fatal neurological disease that is usually accompanied by chronic liver ailment
that leads to a condition called cirrhosis. Wilson's disease is a hereditary disorder that leads to unwarranted
accumulation of copper in crucial organs such as the liver, brain etc. The
patient starts to accumulate copper from birth but diagnosis tends not to occur
only in the later ages. The primary signs of Wilson’s disease become prominent
usually between the ages of 12 and 23 years.
Wilson’s disease is caused by the mutation of a gene named
ATP7B. Absent or reduced function of ATP7B protein leads to reduced elimination
of copper into the bile. Wilson’s disease is inherited as an autosomal
recessive trait, which means that in order to develop the disease one must
inherit two procreations of the defective gene, one from each parent. If a
person receives only one abnormal gene from either of the parents, he/she is
not likely to get affected by the Wilson’s disease. Wilson’s disease may be
difficult to primarily diagnose as the symptoms are alike to other health
issues like heavy metal poisoning, hepatitis C, and cerebral palsy.
