Cracking Peanuts and the Code to Wilson Disease
Warren is the first person in the world to receive a groundbreaking treatment for this rare, serious genetic condition, Wilson Disease, in which excessive amounts of copper accumulates in the body, particularly in the liver and brain. Wilson Disease can cause liver and neurological damage, as well as psychiatric issues with memory, impulse control, and anger. A strong, long-term relationship between Warren and Professor of Medicine Michael Schilsky, MD, the physician who is investigating this treatment, has been essential to this novel treatment which has the potential to help patients all over the world.
