The fine WE MOVE website for people with movement disorders presents this profile of Wilson disease, a rare genetic condition causing a disruption to normal copper metabolism; sufferers experience excess copper accumulation in their bodies. Thorough text explains everything about the condition: its symptoms (which may not become apparent until late childhood or adolescence--or even adulthood!), its genetic cause, its diagnosis, and its treatment method.

Treatment naturally begins with restriction of copper in the diet but also may include drug therapy to remove copper from the body and, in serious cases, liver transplantation.
