Novel SLC30A2 mutations in the pathogenesis of transient neonatal zinc deficiency

ABSTRACT Importance Transient neonatal zinc deficiency (TNZD) occurs in breastfed infants due to abnormally low breast milk zinc levels. Mutations in the solute carrier family 30 member 2 (SLC30A2) gene, which encodes the zinc transporter ZNT2, cause low zinc concentration in breast milk. Objective...
