Menkes disease: underlying genetic defect and new diagnostic possibilities.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Life expectancy of patients with glycogen storage disease (GSD) type I has improved considerably, opening new problems correlated with adult age. In females polycystic ovaries (PCOs) has been described as frequently associated with the disease, however successful pregnancies have been reported. Whether or no...
