Wilson Disease (WD) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Wilson Disease (WD) is an inherited disorder characterized by an abnormality in copper metabolism. It results from specific mutations in the ATP7B gene, which encodes a protein called ATP7B responsible for copper transportation and regulation. This gene mutation can occur as homozygous or compounds heterozygous mutations. ATP7B plays a vital role in excreting excess copper into bile and facilitating the synthesis of ceruloplasmin, a key copper-transporting protein in the bloodstream. The liver serves as the primary site for managing dietary copper, and in individuals with WD, impaired ATP7B function leads to copper accumulation within liver cells, causing liver-related issues. · The prevalence of Wilson's disease varies across regions, with around 31 to 37 cases per 100,000 individuals in EU countries, 48 to 59 cases in the USA, and 33 cases per 1,000,000 individuals in Japan.
