Menkes disease, or Menkes syndrome, is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by impaired copper metabolism in the body. This pathology is caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene, which codes for a protein responsible for copper transport. As a result of insufficient copper delivery to the body, especially to tissues, metabolism is disrupted, which leads to multiple clinical manifestations. Menkes disease manifests itself mainly in childhood, most often in boys, and is progressive. Symptoms may include delayed psychomotor development, muscle hypotonia, changes in hair structure, as well as vascular anomalies and nervous system disorders.<\/p>\n
