Further information about Copper Toxicosis

Copper Toxicosis has different results from other disease tests, in that dogs who are just carriers of the disease mutation (ATP7B), are still considered at risk. The modifier mutation (ATP7A) can reduce the effects of the disease mutation, however, it does not terminate the symptoms all together.
