Reference: 1F31MH078678n.a.1A2 Abstract: MeCP2 is a transcriptional repressor critical for normal neurological function. Rett syndrome (RTT) is a progressive neurodevelopmental disease caused by predominantly loss of function mutations in the X-linked gene encoding the transcriptional repressor, methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) genes. Classic RTT patients exhibit a spectrum of neurological phenotypes that include tremors, ataxia, seizures, … Read more

Reference: Abstract: Rett syndrome is a leading cause of mental retardation in girls and is caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene.ﾠIn addition, changes in the MECP2 gene isolated in patients with non-specific mental retardation, autism, and severe neonatal encephalopathy are detectable.ﾠThe function of the MECP2 protein, its role in methylation and its interactions with … Read more
