Screening of 383 unrelated patients affected with Menkes disease and finding of 57 gross deletions in<i>ATP7A</i>

Abstract excerpt

Menkes disease (MD) is an X-linked multisystemic lethal disorder of copper metabolism dominated by neurodegenerative symptoms and connective tissue disturbances. MD results from mutations in the ATP7A gene, which encodes a membrane-bound copper transporting P-type ATPase located in the trans-Golgi network. In this study we describe screening of 383 unrelated patients affected with Menkes disease for gross...
