Copper Metabolism Disorders Report

Copper Metabolism DisordersThe Copper Metabolism Disorders report is a genetic test used to identify mutations in genes involved in copper metabolism, including ATP7A and ATP7B. Mutations in these genes can lead to a variety of conditions, such as Menkes disease and Wilson disease, which affect copper transport and metabolism in the body. The report tests for genetic variants that are known to affect these processes.More than 8 genes analyzed It is recommended if: This report is designed for individuals with a family history of copper metabolism disorders or individuals with symptoms of the conditions, such as neurological problems, liver disease, or hair and skin abnormalities. Genetic testing can confirm a diagnosis, inform treatment and management decisions, and guide family planning. Testing can also provide reassurance for unaffected family members. List of main conditions: Wilson's disease Menkes disease ATP7A-related copper transport disorders Occipital horn syndrome
