BabyScreen+ newborn screening v1.114 ATP7A Tommy Li Added phenotypes Menkes disease, MIM# 309400 for gene: ATP7A
BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.1632 ATP7A Zornitza Stark Tag metabolic tag was added to gene: ATP7A.
BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.585 ATP7A Zornitza Stark Tag for review was removed from gene: ATP7A.
BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.161 ATP7A Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Well established gene-disease association.

ATP7A-related copper transport disorders are classically separated in three pathologies according to their severity, all inherited in an X-linked recessive manner: Menkes disease (MD, OMIM #309400) which represent more than 90% of cases; occipital Horn Syndrome (OHS, OMIM #304150) and ATP7A-related distal motor neuropathy also named X-linked distal spinal muscular atrophy-3 (SMAX3, OMIM #300489). Although there is no clear cut correlation between Cu and ceruloplasmin levels in ATP7A related disorders, these three entities probably represent a continuum partly depending on residual functional ATP7A protein.

Menkes disease typically presents in infancy, and if untreated is fatal. Typical age at diagnosis is ~8 months.

Females are typically asymptomatic.

In Australia, the birth incidence of MD is reported to be much higher (1/40,000-100,000 cf 1 in 300,000 elsewhere), which may be due to a founder effect

Treatment: subcutaneous injections of copper histidine or copper chloride

ClinGen has assessed as moderate evidence for actionability.

Neonatal treatment with subcutaneous copper-histidine (initiated before 30 days of life) is recommended for asymptomatic males with a diagnosis of MD, but is not recommended for symptomatic boys or after 30 days of life. Treatment should be continued indefinitely. In an open-label clinical trial, 12 patients with MD treated with copper-histidine within 22 days of life had 92% survival after a mean follow-up of 4.6 years compared to 13% in a historical control group of 15 patients treated after a late diagnosis (mean age at diagnosis: 163 ± 113 days, range: 42 to 390). Two of the 12 patients with earlier treatment had normal neurological development. A second open-label trial of 35 presymptomatic patients receiving copper-histidine at less than a month of age reported significant improvement of four major neurodevelopmental (gross motor, fine motor/adaptive, personal/social, and language) domains and a non-significant lower mortality (28.5% vs 50%) at age of 3 years (or age of death) compared to 22 patients treated later and after onset of symptoms.; to: Well established gene-disease association.
