Abstract excerpt
Menkes disease (MNK) lies immediately proximal to pphosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) in Xq13 in human. Phenotypic similarities between MNK patients and murine mottled (Mo) mutants strongly suggest that both defects are caused by mutations at the same locus. Human MNK cDNA clones and a genomic subclone derived from a 40-kb YAC clone that includes Pgk1 have been used to position the murine homologue of Menkes disease...
