From Synaptopathies to System Dysfunction

Reference: Subproject to FZT 103 Abstract: This area of ??research focuses on genetic diseases that result in defects of synapse formation and function, which cause motor and cognitive deficits in Rett syndrome and as the associate autism.ᅠCause of Rett syndrome are encoded spontaneous mutations in X-linked MECP2 gene, the transcriptional regulator methyl-CpG binding protein 2 … Read more

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

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

Functional variants of the 5q31 chromosome region: connections between polygenic diseases and the carnitine system.

Reference: 73430 Abstract: The study design is the natural extension of our previous research works that had already been supported (www.humangenom.hu, www.eurosca.org). It is clear nowadays, that the functions of the carnitine are not restricted to the role of the oxidation of the long-chain fatty acids. The main direction of the planned research is the … Read more
