Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder were extra copper builds up in the liver,brain and eyes. Wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive trait. (Autosomal recessive trait: means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop) Wilson disease is located on chromosome 13. The gene is called ATP7B and it contains the genetic information necessary to make a copper transport copper out of the liver. Mutations in the gene lead to an abnormal copper transport
