What is Wilson disease (ATP7B) gene analysis?

This genetic test analyzes the ATP7B gene to identify mutations associated with Wilson disease. Wilson disease is a rare inherited disorder that causes copper to accumulate in vital organs, leading to serious health issues.

Why is this test important?

Confirming the presence of ATP7B mutations is crucial for a definitive diagnosis of Wilson disease, especially in individuals with symptoms or a family history. It also helps identify carriers and guides early intervention and treatment.
