Menkes syndrome is inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder. The disorder is related to deficient levels of copper in the cells. Symptoms of Menkes Syndrome? Some of the most common symptoms of Menkes syndrome are: Pudgy, rosy cheeks Hypotonia Irritability Seizures Brittle, kinky hair Feeding difficulties Low body temperature Bone spurs Complications of Menkes Syndrome?

33. Menkes Syndrome By Michel Perron menkes syndrome has been found to be a genetically inherited disorder that The mRNA in two individuals with menkes syndrome have been found by Tumer et 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.

Community Advisor Search Send to a friend Home  Diseases, Conditions and Injuries Menkes Syndrome (Kinky Hair Disease, Steely Hair Disease, Trichopoliodystrophy, X-linked Copper Deficiency, Copper Transport Disease) by Michelle Badash, MS Definition Causes Risk Factors ... 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:
