Congenital Rett syndrome: cellular and mouse models for the study of foxg1 impact on forebrain neurogenesis

by

Reference: GGP09117 Abstract: Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that represents one of the most common genetic causes of mental retardation in girls. Mutations in the MECP2 gene have long represented the only known cause of Rett. Recently, we demonstrated that mutations in a different gene, FOXG1, are responsible for the most severe form of … Read more

Creating an experimental modelreproducing a pathogenic mutation of MeCP2

by

Reference: Project3 Abstract: Objective: the majority of animal models of the syndrome Rett available today represent only part of what that actually happens in patients, because most patients are not deprived of the entire gene, but only a small portion of it, or even have change only one amino acid. This project has set itself … Read more

New animal models for understandingof the role of MeCP2 and the development of approachespharmacological

by

Reference: PROJECT1 Abstract: Objective: confirmed the reversibility of the syndrome Rett, a possible therapeutic approach could result by pharmacological modulation of molecular pathways regulated by MeCP2. In this project we will remove MeCP2 from cerebral cortex and hippocampus, areas in which they reside most of the cognitive and affective, to determine the “MeCP2 target genes” … Read more

Study of the causes of the defects of communication between nerve cells in patients with Rett Syndrome

by

Reference: 3 Abstract: This study aims at understanding the causes and the ways that lead to the failure of small structures, dendritic spines, distributed on neurons in regions (synapses) in which nerve cells are approaching to communicate with each other. Rett Syndrome In this malfunction has a reversible and an irreversible phase . Specifically, the … Read more
