Wilson's disease.
During the last 90 years, Wilson's hepatolenticular degeneration has evolved from a disease presenting insurmountable challenges to the clinician's diagnostic acumen to a metabolic disorder which is diagnosable woth certainty, treatable successfully, and even preventable.  It may be long before the genetic defect becomes amenable to correction and a cure of the disease becomes possible.
