Wilson’s disease is a rare condition that causes copper to gather in the liver, brain and other major organs of the body. In most cases, Wilson’s disease is diagnosed in people between the ages of 5 and 35, but it can be diagnosed at any age.
Some copper is vital to bodily functions, as it is important for healthy nerves, bones and skin pigmentation. However, if a person has Wilson’s disease, copper isn’t processed normally and the levels accumulate.
A gene mutation that is hereditary (passed down in families) causes Wilson’s disease.
