MENKES' KINKY-HAIR SYNDROME

Lancet, The, 1972
Abstract Copper deficiency has been demonstrated in seven babies with Menkes' kinky-hair syndrome. Gross changes in free sulphydryl groups in hair keratin, consistent with copper deficiency, probably explain the kinky hair. Copper deficiency also explains the important changes in the elastic fibres in the arterial walls, the scorbutic bone changes ...

Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome: Is it a treatable disorder?

Clinical Genetics, 1977
A male infant with Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome was treated with a 3‐week course of cupric acetate infusions, which was terminated when he developed aminoaciduria. The lack of improvement seen in this infant is representative of the reported experience with parenteral copper therapy in this condition, and may be attributable to the presence of a ...

The failure of parenteral copper therapy in Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1984
In the untreated infant with Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome, copper concentrations in brain and liver are deficient, while excessive copper accumulates in other tissues. The observed serum ceruloplasmin response after parenteral copper administration is suggestive of an impairment in the incorporation of copper into this metalloprotein.
