Introduction Malnutrition is a global challenge in low-income and middle-income countries particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia (Shetty‚ 2002‚ Black‚ et al.‚ 2008). More than ten million children under five years of age die annually worldwide and percentage of child deaths in sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 41% and another 34% in south Asia (Black‚ et al.‚ 2003). It was estimated that more than 50% of these child deaths could be attributed to the potentiating effects of malnutrition

The study of copper’s genetic diseases‚ which are the focus of research activity has shed insight into how human bodies use copper‚ and why it is important as an essential micronutrient. The studies have also resulted in treatments for genetic copper excess conditions‚ enabling patients whose lives were once jeopardized to live long and productive lives
