Abstract excerpt
Menkes disease is an X-linked copper deficiency disorder that results from mutations in the ATP7A ( MNK ) gene. A wide range of disease-causing mutations within ATP7A have been described, which lead to a diversity of phenotypes exhibited by Menkes patients. The mottled locus ( Mo, Atp7a, Mnk ) represents the murine homologue of the ATP7A gene, and the mottled mutants exhibit a diversity of phenotypes similar to...
