Intravenous AAV9- ATP7A plus subcutaneous copper histidinate optimizes outcomes in a lethal Menkes disease mouse model
29 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Menkes disease is an X-linked recessive condition characterized by seizures, failure to thrive, and rapid, progressive neurodegeneration beginning within weeks after birth. Death usually occurs by 3 years of age. The disorder is caused by genetic variants in ATP7A , an evolutionarily conserved copper transporter that is crucial for normal brain development. The mottled-brindled mouse recapitulates salient...
