Wilson disease is caused by excessive accumulation of copper in hepatic and extrahepatic tissues due to defective excretion of copper into bile. As a result, copper accumulates particularly in the liver, kidney, brain, and cornea. ATP7B gene, is responsible for transport of copper into bile from hepatocytes and its incorporation into apoceruloplasmin to form ceruloplasmin
