Wilson's disease, scientifically known as intrahepatic degenerative degeneration, is one of rare autosomal recessive inherited diseases caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. Wilson's disease is caused by excessive deposition of copper on the liver, brain and other tissues and organs. Wilson's disease affects 30,000 people worldwide. Wilson's disease is a hereditary disease that begins at birth, but symptoms usually begin between the ages of 6 and 40 years. Some of the symptoms of Wilson's disease are confusion, dementia, stiffness, difficulty walking (ataxia), and some patients show changes in emotional behavior, phobias and neurosis.
Wilson's syndrome (not to be confused with Wilson's disease) is a concept of alternative medicine that is not considered a legal diagnosis of evidence-based medicine. Its advocate accounts for Wilson's syndrome as a mixture of general and nonspecific symptoms due to hypothermia and conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3), but normal thyroid gland It is a functional test. According to the American Thyroid Association (ATA), Wilson's syndrome conflicts with knowledge of established thyroid function, has ambiguous diagnostic criteria and lacks evidence of scientific evidence. ATA is also afraid that the proposed treatment may be harmful
In humans, tetrathiomolybdate therapy is being developed against Wilson's disease, a hereditary disorder in which accumulation of copper in tissues causes damage to the liver and brain. Recently, tetrathiomolybdate has been studied for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. (Detail) Mutations in the molybdenum cofactor biosynthetic pathway result in the lack of all molybdenum-dependent enzyme combinations. The lack of type A molybdenum cofactor is due to mutation of MOCS1 gene caused by mutation of MOCS2 gene. The deficiency of both type A and type B results in a loss of sulfite oxidase activity as well as an isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency and is characterized by severe neurological abnormality in affected patients.
