Glymphatic system impairment in Wilson’s disease: An overlooked mechanism for neurological dysfunction?
These findings provide preliminary imaging evidence of alterations in glymphatic-related MRI markers in WD and suggest that these markers may help differentiate neurological from hepatic phenotypes in research settings. In addition, we emphasize that the observed ALPS changes should be interpreted cautiously, and future longitudinal and multi-shell studies are required before clinical translation can be considered.
