Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder that causes copper to accumulate in your liver, brain and other vital organs. Most people with Wilson's disease are diagnosed between the ages of 5 and 35, but it can affect younger and older people, as well.
Copper plays a key role in the development of healthy nerves, bones, collagen and the skin pigment melanin. Normally, copper is absorbed from your food, and excess is excreted through a substance produced in your liver

Answer:
Wilson's disease is a disease where your body fails to get rid of excess copper which is obtained by eating foods like potatoes, rice, and beans. Wilson's disease mainly affects your hepatocytes (a fancy name for live cells).
There is a chemical that is made for getting rid of excess copper called, ATP7B, but when Wilson's disease occurs, this chemicals fails to carry copper and get rid of it.
Now comes the part where the damage happens, as you know that our body or liver consists of hydrogen, and when hydrogen and copper mix, they create a compound called Hydroxyl Radical, this specific compound is very good at damaging tissue cells, and so on your body can only last long enough.
