| Definition (MEDLINEPLUS) |
Wilson disease is a rare inherited disorder that prevents your body from getting rid of extra copper. You need a small amount of copper from food to stay healthy. Too much copper is poisonous. Normally, your liver releases extra copper into bile, a digestive fluid. With Wilson disease, the copper builds up in your liver, and it releases the copper directly into your bloodstream. This can cause damage to your brain, kidneys, and eyes. Wilson disease is present at birth, but symptoms usually start between ages 5 and 35. It first attacks the liver, the central nervous system or both. The most characteristic sign is a rusty brown ring around the cornea of the eye. A physical exam and laboratory tests can diagnose it. Treatment is with drugs to remove the extra copper from your body. You need to take medicine and follow a low-copper diet for the rest of your life. Don't eat shellfish or liver, as these foods may contain high levels of copper. At the beginning of treatment, you'll also need to avoid chocolate, mushrooms, and nuts. Have your drinking water checked for copper content and don't take multivitamins that contain copper. With early detection and proper treatment, you can enjoy good health.

| Definition (MSHCZE) | Wilsonova nemoc / autozomálně recesivně dědičná choroba, při níž je porušen metabolismus mědi. Podstatou je defekt lyzozomálních enzymů (ATPáza zajišťující transport mědi a její biliární sekreci), gen je lokalizován na 13. chromozomu. Měď se hromadí v játrech, je defektní vazba mědi na ceruloplasmin. Má formu hepatální ústící až do jaterního selhání, neurologickou (s poruchou řeči, koordinace pohybů), psychiatrickou, kombinovanou. U pacientů může být Kayserův-Fleischerův prstenec. Koncentrace ceruloplasminu v séru je snížena, rovněž mědi, měď se hromadí v játrech a později též v ledvinách a nervovém systému. V léčbě se uplatňují penicilamin, TETA, zinek, dietní opatření, symptomatická léčba, možná je i transplantace jater. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2013 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ ) |
| Definition (NCI) | A rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. It is characterized by copper accumulation in the tissues, particularly brain and liver. It results in liver failure, neurologic, and psychotic manifestations. |
| Definition (MSH) | A rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the deposition of copper in the BRAIN; LIVER; CORNEA; and other organs. It is caused by defects in the ATP7B gene encoding copper-transporting ATPase 2 (EC 3.6.3.4), also known as the Wilson disease protein. The overload of copper inevitably leads to progressive liver and neurological dysfunction such as LIVER CIRRHOSIS; TREMOR; ATAXIA and intellectual deterioration. Hepatic dysfunction may precede neurologic dysfunction by several years. |
| Definition (CSP) | rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the deposition of copper in the brain, liver, cornea and other organs; clinical features include liver cirrhosis, liver failure, splenomegaly, tremor, bradykinesia, dysarthria, chorea, muscle rigidity, Kayser-Fleischer rings (pigmented corneal lesions), ataxia and intellectual deterioration; hepatic dysfunction may precede neurologic dysfunction by several years. |
