30 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Copper, an indispensable trace element in living organisms, plays a pivotal role in human physiological processes. Wilson's disease (WD), an inherited disorder of copper metabolism, is caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. This genetic malfunction disrupts the dynamics of copper transport and metabolism, thereby impairing ceruloplasmin synthesis and copper excretion. The resultant accumulation of copper in...
