Extra-hepatic storage of copper: a male foetus suspected of Menkes' disease

K Keydorn et al. Humangenetik. .

Abstract

The distribution of copper among the organs of an aborted, male foetus, expected to develop Menkes' syndrome, was entirely different from the distribution in 4 normal foetuses. Copper concentrations determined by neutron activation analysis showed a considerably reduced content in the liver, but increased concentrations in the other organs analysed; total foetal copper was normal.
