Mottled-dappled (Mo-dp) is a mouse model of Menkes disease caused by a large, previously uncharacterized deletion in the 5' region of Atp7a, the mouse ortholog of ATP7A. Affected mutants die in utero at embryonic day 17, and show bending and thickening of the ribs and distortion of the pectoral and pelvic girdles and limbs. To characterize this allele, we designed a custom 4x180K microarray on the mouse X...
