Organizations Definition Menkes syndrome is an inherited genetic disorder due to an abnormal gene, ATP7A. Menkes syndrome causes impaired copper absorption. This results in arterial changes and deterioration of the brain. Menkes syndrome is rare. It occurs in 1 out of every 50,000-100,000 births. It affects primarily males. Most children born with Menkes syndrome have a life expectancy of 3-5 years. Causes Copper proteins are necessary for the body to build bone, nerves, and other tissue. Babies with Menkes syndrome have a genetic disorder that causes copper to build up in excess amounts in the kidney, while remaining deficient in the liver and brain. This causes changes in the hair, brain, bones, liver, and arteries. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors for Menkes syndrome include: Sex: Male Family members with Menkes syndrome Symptoms Children with Menkes are often born prematurely. Symptoms usually begin to show within three months after birth, and may include:

Menkes syndrome is a disorder that affects copper levels within the body. It is characterized by peculiar hair, growth failure, and deterioration of the nervous system. A mild form of Menkes syndrome is known as occipital horn syndrome (sometimes called X-linked cutis laxa). How common is Menkes syndrome? The estimated incidence of Menkes syndrome is 1 in 250,000 live births. What genes are related to Menkes syndrome? Mutations in the gene cause Menkes syndrome. As the result of a mutation in the ATP7A gene, copper is poorly distributed to cells in the body. Copper accumulates in some tissues, such as the small intestines and kidneys, while the brain and other tissues have unusually low levels. The decreased supply of copper can reduce the activity of numerous copper-containing enzymes that are necessary for the structure and function of bone, skin, hair, blood vessels, and the nervous system. How do people inherit Menkes syndrome?

26. Menkes Syndrome By Michel Perron menkes syndrome by Michel Perron menkes syndrome has been found to be a genetically inherited disorder that primarily affects male infants and children http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~jcthomas/JCTHOMAS/1997 Case Studies/M. Perron

Menkes Syndrome by Michel Perron enzyme condition due to decreased copper levels lysyl oxidase defect in elastin and collagen crosslinks leading to arterial abnormalities ascorbic acid oxidase skeletal defects similar to scurvy due to inadequate vitamin C production tyrosinase depigmentation of skin and hair cytochrome C oxidase hypothermia enzymes that form kinky hair disulfide bonds in keritin Due to decreased activity of copper based enzymes several phenotypes are common in individuals with Menkes syndrome. Most notably individuals develop whitish hair due to pili torti, monilethrix and trichorrhexis nodosa. Gradual cerebral and cerebellar degredation, major seizures, aberrant tortuous arteries, skeletal abnormalities and premature death are among the most serious effects of Menkes syndrome. There is currently no adaquate treatment for this genetic disease although it has been discovered that copper histidinate injections, if administered early enough, may prevent cerebral deterioration-due to its ability to cross the blood brain barrier- and hair discoloration and abnormalities. In the case with Mertha and Eliot D. son, Rick, a clear distinct link exists between the phenotypes described above and Ricks phenotypes- white hair, brain degeneration, artery abnormalities, bending of legs bones similar to scurvy. It is also evident that this disease was inherited from the mother due to signs of unusual twisting of her hair and because of the X-linked recessive inheritance pattern.

Signs include slow growth in the womb, abnormally low body temperature, bleeding in the brain and abnormal appearance of the hair under the microscope. Males will have 100% of their hairs show abnormal structure but carrier-females may show only half the hairs to be abnormal. Tests: X-ray of the skeleton or X-ray of the skull may show abnormal bone appearance (Wormian bones and metaphyseal widening) serum copper level may be low copper level in cultured skin cells (fibroblasts) is up to 5 times elevated serum ceruloplasmin level may be low microscope examination of the hair may show breaks at regular intervals plasma amino acids may show elevated glutamate genetic testing may show mutation in the ATP7A gene Hypotonia Review Date: 11/12/2001 Reviewed By: David G.
