Who are the main carriers of wilson's disease?

what i mean is that who are the people such as asian people or latino and so on

its autosomal recessive ,means u have to have 2 genes to express it ,a carrier is a person with one gene only

I'm not sure what you mean by main carriers. It is a disease that must have two recessive genes contributed by each parent. So that makes a 25% risk for a child.

Check the link I've attached and it will give you the odds for children based on family history. Even if you inherit one recessive gene you're still considered a carrier for a disease you may not have. I am fairly certain genetic screening can help you identify the risk for your/father's risk.

I have no experience with this disease but a big interest in genetics.
