Multiple endocrine dysfunctions in twins with Wilson’s disease: two case reports Deng et al. endocrine dysfunctions in Wilson’s disease
Wilson’s disease (WD) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal copper metabolism, which could induce endocrine dysfunctions. Here, we report two cases of twins with both WD and multiple endocrine dysfunctions, including one twin with primary hypothyroidism and polycystic ovary syndrome, and the other with serious hepatic dysfunction and hypopituitarism.
