Wilson Disease: Pathogenesis, Molecular Mechanisms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Monitoring translates both clinical and experimental findings into a comprehensive approach for anyone involved in research and patient care. While the clinical variability of Wilson Disease poses a challenge from a diagnostic approach, the book uses the translational impact of new research findings to relate to new treatment concepts. Comprehensive chapters include common knowledge, guideline consensus statements, and discussions of clinical evidence. This is a must-have reference for researchers and clinicians in translational research.

This pocket guide provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis, treatment, and management of Wilson disease. Drawing upon expertise from the Center of Excellence at Yale University in liver disease, neurology, and psychiatry for adult and pediatric patients, as well as dieticians, clinical trial coordinators, representatives from the Wilson Disease Association and outside experts from the US and UK as well, this guide provides a balanced and easy to digest approach to understanding treatment and care for Wilson disease patients. The text reviews different treatment options and other care needed to address clinical symptoms, as well as the testing needed for monitoring efficacy and adherence. Furthermore, the volume discusses these issues in the context of a best care model, which is an integrative care model where patients and their caregivers partner with Centers of Excellence with expertise in this rare disorder, to achieve best long-term outcomes. Written by experts in the field, Management of Wilson Disease: A Pocket Guide is a valuable resource for clinicians and primary care physicians who treat patients with Wilson disease.

Clinical and Translational Perspectives on Wilson Disease brings together the genetics, cell and structural biology of Wilson Disease into one contemporary, easy to navigate handbook. Created to meet the diverse needs of the clinical and research communities surrounding Wilson Disease, this reference provides a worldwide approach that is concise and translational. Specifically, it provides a basis for clinicians to appreciate ‘basic science’ aspects of Wilson disease, presenting a guide for researchers to understand the clinical disorder on which their research is focused and fostering constructive dialogue and progress for this puzzling disorder.
