The Wilson's disease therapy market refers to a rare genetic disorder involving the excessive buildup of copper in various body tissues including the liver, brain, and other tissues. In Colombia, Chile, and Peru, the Wilson's disease market is expected to grow due to rising incidences of the disease, increasing adoption of genetic testing, and increased awareness about treatments available for Wilson's disease.
