Fatal congenital copper transport defect caused by a homozygous likely pathogenic variant of SLC31A1
23 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Known hereditary human diseases featuring impaired copper trafficking across cellular membranes involve ATP7A (Menkes disease, occipital horn disease, X-linked spinal muscular atrophy type 3) and ATP7B (Wilson disease). Herein, we report a newborn infant of consanguineous parents with a homozygous pathogenic variant in a highly conserved sequence of SLC31A1, coding for the copper influx transporter 1, CTR1. This...
