Abstract
Two highly polymorphic CA repeats have been identified in the Menkes g ene (ATP7A). These repeats should be useful for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection in families with Menkes disease and X-linked cutis laxa. The observed heterozygosity for these two repeats was 0.778 and 0.60 in Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humaine (CEPH) families.
