Wilsons disease is a genetic disorder in which 1 in 40,000 individuals are affected. It is caused by a recessive gene in which copper metabolism is disordered, so it builds up in the body. This excess of copper can damage the eyes, brain, and liver. A Kayser-Fleisher ring, rust brown ring around the cornea of the eye, is the most characteristic symptom of this disease. Complications usually occur in later years and include: tremors, slurred speech, cirrhosis, clumsiness, and psychological changes. Lifelong treatment is needed for this disease. These are treatments such as Zinc (blocks copper absorption), Penicillamine, Tetrathiomolybdate, and a diet low in copper.

If father has Lyme disease can future children get it?
Lyme disease is not generally considered to be hereditary, so future children of a father with Lyme disease are not automatically at risk of inheriting the disease from their father. However, they could potentially be exposed to the same environmental factors that can lead to Lyme disease, such as tick bites, so precautions should be taken. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
