Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare genetic disorder with protean manifestations. Even if liver transplantation (LT) could represent an effective therapeutic option for patients with end-stage liver disease, it has remained controversial in presence of neuropsychiatric involvement. This study aimed to examine the frequency of adult LT for WD in Italy, focusing on disease phenotype at time of LT.

Even if liver transplantation (LT) could represent an effective therapeutic option for patients with end-stage liver disease, it has remained controversial in presence of neuropsychiatric involvement. This study aimed to examine the frequency of adult LT for WD in Italy, focusing on disease phenotype at time of LT.
