According to FutureWise analysis the market for Menkes Syndrome is expected to register a CAGR of 8.72% from 2023-2031.
The Menkes syndrome affects the body's copper levels. It is characterized by sparse, kinky hair, weight loss and slow growth (failure to thrive); and neurological deterioration. Menkes disease is caused by a defective gene called ATPTA1 that regulates copper metabolism. Male infants are most commonly affected by the disease. The liver and brain accumulate copper at abnormally low levels, but the kidney and intestinal lining accumulate copper at higher levels than normal. The Menkes syndrome, also known as steely hair disease, is a rare, X-linked genetic disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in copper transporter ATP7A. Due to the mutation in copper transport gene, copper cannot reach the various cells where it is essential for enzyme function and structure. It is characterized by kinky hair, sparse, and failing to thrive as well as progressive deterioration of the nervous system. There is an X-linked inherited neurodegenerative disorder called Menkes disease (MD). Mutations in the ATP7A gene responsible for copper transport throughout the body cause this inherited X-linked recessive disorder.
In addition to premature birth, the mutation may result in non-specific symptoms such as hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and prolonged jaundice. Non-specific clinical and biochemical findings could lead to a misdiagnosis of neonatal Menkes disease. In most cases, Menkes disease is inherited, which means it runs in families. If a mother carries the defective gene on the X-chromosome, all her sons will have a 50% (1 in 2) chance of developing the disease, and 50% of her daughters will be carriers as well. Clinical features (typical hair changes with hypotonia and delayed neuromotor development) and reduced serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels support the initial diagnosis. As an essential mineral, copper is necessary for several functions in the human body, including metabolism, brain function, and blood cell formation. Copper is used by the human body in very small amounts. Among the other functions or uses of copper are the healing of wounds and converting iron into a form that can be used in the body. The mineral copper can be found in a variety of foods and dietary supplements.
