Copper poisoning : Wilson's disease is a genetic defect in the body's ability to bind plasma copper (defective ceruloplamin) which leads to excessive accumulation of copper in the body. The excess copper deposits in the central nervous system, eyes, spleen & liver leading to severe illness. The disease occurs from birth and progresses unless diagnosed and treated.
