Identification of Novel Neuronal Substrates of Rett Syndrome: A Morphofunctional Analysis of GABAergic Interneurons in Mouse Models

by

Reference: Maurizio Giustetto Abstract: The majority of cases of Rett syndrome are caused by mutations in the gene encoding MECP2, a protein which binds DNA and regulates the expression of other genes, including that of brain?derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a major neurotrophin involved in brain development. No effective cure is available for this disease. The … Read more

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

by

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
