Modulators of bio-aminergic pathways for the treatment of Rett syndrome

by

Reference: ANRn.a.8-BIOTn.a.020 Abstract: Rett syndrome (RS) is a severe neurological disorder caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene transcriptional repressor. SR girls develop normally until 6-18 months later, they suffer neurological symptoms and severe respiratory ?irregularities. So far no treatment is available. Previously, using a mouse model of SR, we have shown that disruption … Read more

Modeling of pathogenic breathing pattern dysregulation in cardiopulmonary disease

by

Reference: 5R33HL087347 Abstract: Ventilatory arrhythmia plays a pathogenic role in many common respiratory disorders ranging from sleep apnea, and acute lung injury to ventilatory support in the setting of chronic lung disease. Brainstem neural circuits that control cardiopulmonary functions generate oscillatory patterns that drive respiratory as well as sympathetic motor activities. These patterns exhibit highly … Read more

Gross rearrangements of the MECP2 gene are found in both classical and atypical Rett Syndrome

by

Reference: RES-145-28-1003 Abstract: INTRODUCTION: MECP2 mutations are identifiable in ~80% of classic Rett syndrome (RTT), but less frequently in atypical RTT. METHODS: We recruited 110 patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for Rett syndrome and were referred to Cardiff for molecular analysis but in whom an MECP2 mutation was not identifiable. Dosage analysis of MECP2 … Read more
