Abstract
Dear Editor,
Wilson’s disease (WD) is an inherited disorder caused by a mutation in the ATP7B gene that produces copper accumulation in the liver and brain. Clinically, it is characterized by the presence of hepatic (1), neurological and/or neuropsychiatric disease. D- penicillamine is a copper chelator successfully used in the treatment of WD since 1956 (2). Its high therapeutic effectiveness has been undermined by the frequent occurrence of adverse effects.
