What is the treatment for Menkes syndrome?
The most common treatment for Menkes is copper injection therapy, but the studies of the treatment show mixed results. In general, the earlier the copper therapy is received, the better the results. Also, people with ATP7A mutations that don’t completely stop the copper transport in the body respond better to treatment than those with mutations causing absolutely no activity.
