Menkes Disease Disease Understanding
Menkes disease (MD) is a lethal infantile neurodegenerative disorder with X-linked inheritance. It is an inherited X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene that is responsible for the transport of copper throughout the body. The mutation could lead to premature birth and may have non-specific symptoms such as hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and prolonged jaundice. These non-specific clinical and biochemical findings could result in the misdiagnosis of neonatal Menkes disease.
Menkes disease is usually inherited, which means it runs in families. The gene is on the X-chromosome, so if a mother carries the defective gene, each of her sons has a 50% (1 in 2) chance of developing the disease, and 50% of her daughters will be a carrier of the disease. The symptoms may not appear in infants until two to three months after birth.
Symptoms of Menkes disease begin shortly after birth and may vary from person to person. The typical symptoms usually start by two months with characteristic skin and hair findings. Sagging facial features, micrognathia, cutis laxa, and blue iris can be noted. Congenital malformations have been reported, including congenital microblepharia, entropion, long arched palate, cerebellar hypoplasia, cystic changes in the lungs, and complete AV block. Neurological manifestations are the most common and characteristic of Menkes disease. Developmental regression and seizures are usually the first to start around 2–3 months.
Menkes Disease Diagnosis
Initial diagnosis is based on clinical features (typical hair changes associated with hypotonia and delayed neuromotor development) and supported by the demonstration of reduced levels of serum copper and ceruloplasmin.
Prenatal diagnosis can be possible where the pathogenic variant has a history in the family and it is a preferred test to determine the carrier status of the mother before pregnancy.
