Abstract
Unfortunately, these three genetic diseases have yet to contribute to our understanding of copper transport the revelations that we geneticists expect from “experiments of nature”. Nonetheless, I still have faith that the resolution of the basic defects in these conditions will eventually play a critical role in giving us a complete understanding of this process. Therefore we battle on.
