The transporter gene ATP7B's mutation can lead to this autosomal recessive disease, while the most common sign of this disease can be identified using a slit lamp, and manifests itself as a rusty brown circle surrounding Descemet's membrane in the cornea.
One potentially new treatment for this condition is tetrathiomolybdate, whose long term effects are unknown but has been showed to suppress angiogenesis. Those diagnosed with this disease may need to follow a diet free in shellfish, nuts, mushrooms and chocolate. The transporter gene ATP7B's mutation can lead to this autosomal recessive disease, while the most common sign of this disease can be identified using a slit lamp, and manifests itself as a rusty brown circle surrounding Descemet's membrane in the cornea. In addition to (*) Kayser-Fleischer rings, another symptom of this disease is a deficiency in ceruloplasmin. While both zinc acetate and penicillamine can be used to treat this disease by blocking the absorption of, or chelating the relevant ion in question, the first choice should be Syprine, due to its reduced risk of neurological damage. FTP, name this mutation on chromosome 13 where the body has an excess of copper.
