Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the ATPase copper transporting beta (ATP7B) gene, which lead to abnormal copper deposition in different body tissues. An estimated 50% of patients report neurological or psychiatric manifestations.1
