Whole-exome sequencing analysis (WES) revealed the novel de novo variant c.3642_3649dup (p.Ala1217Aspfs*2) in the ATP7A gene, leading to a diagnosis of Menkes disease, and the simultaneous presence of the homozygous ACY1 variant c.1057C>T (p.Arg353Cys) causative of Aminoacylase-1 deficiency. Here, ACY1 is linked to Menkes disease.
