Abstract
Various inherited disorders of copper metabolism in man and animals are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the use of cultured cells from mutants to determine the primary molecular defects and to acquire basic knowledge of normal copper metabolism. This allows better diagnostic tests and possible treatment of the disorders. Menkes' disease in humans and mottled mouse mutants are discussed in detail, as they illustrate these approaches.Entities:
