Study of the genetic differences between the classical form and the variant to preserved language of Rett Syndrome

Reference: 1_Renieri Abstract: The preserved speech variant (Preserved Speech Variant, PSV) of Rett syndrome is characterized by a more favorable clinical course than the classical form (Zappella 1992). During the third stage, the PSV patients recover previously lost some skills: begin communicating with short sentences usually in the third person and observe an improvement in … Read more

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. Significant progress was the discovery of mutations in the MECP2 gene in over 90% of RTT patients. In recent years, we have developed a French consortium and determined the spectrum of mutations MECP2. We have shown that the four … Read more
