Answer:
Menkes disease is caused by a defect in the ATP7A gene. The defect makes it hard for the body to properly distribute (transport) copper throughout the body. As a result, the brain and other parts of the body do not get enough copper, while it builds up in the small intestine and kidneys. Menkes syndrome causes impaired copper absorption. This results in changes in the arteries and deterioration of the brain. Menkes syndrome is rare. Most children born with Menkes syndrome have a life expectancy of < 4 years.
