Multiannual Programme for Research on Rare Diseases (MRAR) (MRAR) 2006 projectᅠRett therapy -Therapeutic approaches of Rett syndrome: development of human cell models and high-throughput screening of chemical molecules in order to identify new subtsances likely to induce readthrough of a stop codon
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
