Abstract

Menkes disease (MD) is an X-linked recessive multisystemic lethal, heredodegenerative disorder. Progressive neurodegeneration and connective tissue disturbances with microscopically kinky hair are the main symptoms. Molecular genetic mutation analysis was made at a Hungarian male infant suffering from MD and prenatal diagnosis was done in this MD loaded family. Method - The 12th exon of ATP7A gene has been analyzed by dideoxy-finger printing (DDF), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), direct sequencing of exon 12. The specific mutation was screened from chorionic villi of the maternal aunt at the 14th gestational week. Results - In the exon 12th a basic pair substitution with Arg 844 His change was detected leading to very severe fatal missense mutation.
