Abstract

Wilson’s disease is a relatively rare, genetically determined autosomalrecessive disease. The base of the formation of the disease is impairments of metabolism of copper with its excessive accumulation in liver and brain.

From the clinical point of view, this is a chronic progressing disease with a great diversity of somatic and neurological manifestations in young age.

A prominent clinical polymorphism of this disease makes signifi - cantly diffi cult its timely diagnosis, which often takes several years. Along with this, only an early diagnosis enables an eff ective therapy.
