Description

Pathogenic variants in the ATP7A gene, which encodes a transmembrane copper-transporting P-type ATPase, underlie Menkes disease, a rare X-linked recessive disorder of copper metabolism. We report a 3-year-old boy presenting with progressive neurodegeneration, refractory epilepsy, connective tissue abnormalities, and characteristic kinky hair.
