Details
Menkes disease is characterized by neurological deterioration caused by accumulation of copper in the intestine and kidneys and low copper levels in the liver and brain. The disorder causes severe brain degeneration and arterial changes, resulting in death in infancy. However, the mutation of ATP7A may have a protective or beneficial aspect for dogs with the mutation of ATP7B. See: Copper Toxicosis ATP7B Type.
Details 2
Menkes disease, involving ATP7A, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder of copper deficiency. Mutations in ATP7B lead to Wilson disease, which is characterized by a predominantly hepatic copper accumulation... (From Fieten et al, 2016) However, the mutation of ATP7A may have a protective or beneficial aspect for dogs with the mutation of ATP7B. See: Copper Toxicosis ATP7B Type.
