Scope note: Enfermedad recesiva autosómica poco frecuente, caracterizada por la existencia de depositos de cobre en el CEREBRO, HÍGADO, CÓRNEA, y otros órganos. Es causada por defectos del gen ATP7B que codifica la ATPasa transportadora de cobre (EC 3.6.3.4), conocida también como proteína de la enfermedad de Wilson. La sobrecarga de cobre inevitablemente conduce a disfunción hepática y neirológica progresivas con CIRROSIS HEPÁTICA, TEMBLOR, ATAXIA y deterioro intelectual. La disfunción hepática puede preceder varios años a la disfunción neurológica.

Scope note: 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.
