Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants in ATP7A are associated with a spectrum of X-linked disorders. In descending order of severity, these are Menkes disease, occipital horn syndrome, and X-linked distal spinal muscular atrophy. After 30 years of diagnostic investigation, we identified a deep intronic ATP7A variant in four males from a family affected to variable degrees by a predominantly skeletal phenotype, featuring bowing of...
