ATP7B
Associated conditions:
- Wilson disease
ATP7B makes a protein that moves excess copper out of the liver so it can leave the body. Genetic changes in both copies of this gene are associated with an autosomal recessive condition called Wilson disease, letting copper build to toxic levels in the liver and brain. Knowing your genetic status enables early treatment with copper-lowering medicines that can prevent lasting organ damage.

Wilson disease
Wilson disease causes copper to build up in the body, mainly damaging the liver and brain. It is treatable with medication that removes excess copper or blocks its absorption, so early diagnosis prevents serious harm.
