Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: A disorder of copper metabolism, due to a deficiency of ceruloplasmin, which forms a complex with copper. The excess copper is deposited in the brain (causing mental retardation) or the liver (causing jaundice and cirrhosis).

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
