MeCP2 as a genome-wide modulator: the renewal of an old story.

by

Reference: Abstract: Since the discovery of MeCP2, its functions have attracted the interest of generations of molecular biologists. Its function as a transducer of DNA methylation, the major post-biosynthetic modification found throughout genomes, and its association with the neurodevelopmental disease Rett syndrome highlight its central role as a transcriptional regulator, and, at the same time, … Read more

DHPLC analysis of the MECP2 gene in Italian Rett patients

by

Reference: Abstract: Rett Syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder, which almost exclusively affects girls, with an estimated prevalence of one in 10,000-15,000 female births. Mutations in the methyl CpG binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) have been identified in roughly 75% of classical Rett girls. The vast majority of Rett cases (99%) are sporadic … Read more
