ATP7A gene mutations in 16 patients with Menkes disease and a patient with occipital horn syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic DNA of 17 unrelated Japanese males with Menkes disease and 2 Japanese males with occipital horn syndrome were studied for mutations in the ATP7A gene. Using SSCP analysis and direct sequencing of the exons and the 5'-upstream region of the gene amplified by PCR, we identified 16 mutations in 16 of 17 males with Menkes disease, including 4 deletions, 2 insertions, 6 nonsense mutations, 2 missense...
