I know someone who has it. I also know someone who passed away from it. It is when a person has to much copper in there blood and it starts to destroy your internal organs. By the age 17 or 18 years of age if it has gone undiagnosed the persons organs have been destroyed and results in death. The Childrens Hospital in Boston, MA has a great team of doctors that are wonderful and very experianced with it. Hope this helped.....Merry Christmas, Rose
