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 of the respiratory … Read more

ROLE OF EXCITATION AND INHIBITION IN RETT SYNDROME

by

Reference: 5F31MH078678n.a.2 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

by

Reference: ANRn.a.6-MRARn.a.003 Abstract: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmentale dominant X-linked disease affecting almost exclusively girls.ﾠSignificant progress was the discovery of mutations in the MECP2 gene in over 90% of RTT patients.ﾠIn recent years, we have developed a French consortium and determined the spectrum of mutations MECP2.ﾠWe have shown that the four most common MECP2 … Read more
