Identification of neuronal substrates of Rett syndrome and validation of therapies in preclinical models: a genomic, morphofunctional, and behavioural analysis in mouse models and patients

Reference: GGP09196 Abstract: Rett syndrome is a leading cause of mental retardation, second only to Down syndrome, which affects almost exclusively girls. This disease becomes manifest after a period of apparently normal development and causes growth retardation, severe psychomotor impairment and autistic behaviour. The majority of cases of Rett syndrome are caused by mutations in … Read more

Rett Syndrome and Hanefeld variant:analysis of the molecular pathways common to both diseases

Reference: Project5 Abstract: Rett syndrome and its variant “of Hanefeld” are caused by mutations that affect two different genes, respectively MeCP2 and CDKL5. The aim of this project is the systematic analysis of the gene expression profile of neurons lacking MeCP2 or CDKL5. From the comparison of the obtained data we can determine which pathways … Read more

Role of MeCP2 in the proliferationand in the differentiation of the cerebral cortex

Reference: Project4 Abstract: Objective: the production of MeCP2 starts very early during development of the central nervous system; although at 14 days after conception the cerebral cortex of mice expressing high levels of MeCP2, the role of MeCP2 during these phases has so far been overlooked. it is our opinion that MeCP2 and in particular … Read more
