"It was initially described by Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson (1878-1937), an American-born British neurologist, in 1912 as "progressive lenticular degeneration". Wilson also coined the terms extrapyramidal system and syndrome ^10,20. Interestingly, Kayser-Fleischer rings were initially described a decade earlier by German physicians Bernhard Kayser (1869-1954) and Bruno Fleischer (1848-1904) in 1902 and 1903 respectively ^16,17,21."

Line 71:34 · In a biographical citation, the date should be correctly spaced: '<strong>Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson </strong>(1878'

warning

"Wilson disease is caused by one of many mutations of the ATP7B gene on the long arm of chromosome 13 which codes for the ATP7B enzyme that enables biliary excretion of excess copper, normally accounting for 95% of copper excretion. Copper first accumulates in the liver, generating free radicals and causing oxidative damage to proteins and lipids, with early damage to mitochondria, nuclei and peroxisomes."

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Wilson disease, also known as hepatolenticular degeneration, is a rare and potentially fatal autosomal recessive disorder caused by impairment of both biliary copper excretion and serum copper transport. Copper first accumulates in the liver causing slowly progressive disease and subsequently spills over into the bloodstream causing oxidative damage to the brain, kidneys and other organs. The range of manifestations and phenotypes adds to the diagnostic challenge."

Line 1:404 · Use the Oxford comma in 'brain, kidneys and other'.

"elevated bilirubin, AST and ALT"

Line 8:17 · Use the Oxford comma in 'bilirubin, AST and ALT'.
