Overview of Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome

Most recent studies have shown that Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome shares some biological mechanisms with atrophy, brain-diseases, brain-diseases-metabolic, copper-deficiency, copper-metabolism-disorder, cutis-laxa, cutis-laxa-x-linked, ehlers-danlos-syndrome, epilepsy, growth-disorders, hair-diseases, hepatolenticular-degeneration, hereditary-diseases, inborn-errors-of-metabolism, nerve-degeneration, nervous-system-disorder, nervousness, neurodegenerative-disorders.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome, and have been seen in publications frequently: Angiogenesis, Brain Development, Cell Death, Endocytosis, Excretion, Glycosylation, Golgi Localization, Intestinal Absorption, Lactation, Localization, Methylation, Myelination, Pathogenesis, Pigmentation, Pinocytosis, Reverse Transcription, Secretion, Secretory Pathway, Translation, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome, such as ATOX1, ATP7A, ATP7B, CALCR, CP, CYCS, DBH, ELN, LOX, MCAT, PAM, SLC31A1, TG, TYR.
