505 top medical experts on Hepatolenticular Degeneration across 43 countries and 28 U.S. states, including 377 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Hepatolenticular Degeneration: 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.
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
