Abstract:
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a genetic disease that affects the little girl from her 6th month, causing disorders of the nervous system.ﾠIf for the moment there is no cure for the disease, early detection is important and can limit neurological damage related symptoms faster.ﾠResearchers at the Institute of Biomolecules Max Mousseron (1) (IBMM – CNRS / University of Montpellier 1 and 2/ENSCM) achieved the total synthesis of a specific marker of the disease that has proven itself in first tests clinical screening conducted by Italian colleagues (2).ﾠBeyond screening, this potential marker could be an indicator for the study of disease mechanisms and monitoring of new therapies.ﾠAll of this work has been co-signed between chemists and clinicians, the last published in the journal European Journal of Organic Chemistry in April 2012 publications.
