Genetic approach to Rett syndrome and its variants. Clinical and molecular characterization of neuropsychiatric phenotypes that overlap

Reference: ORPHA319013 Abstract: Title: Genetic approach to Rett syndrome and its variants. Clinical and molecular characterization of overlapping neuropsychiatric phenotypes. Description: Since the discovery of MECP2 gene as mainly responsible for Rett Syndrome (SR) numerous studies have shown that there are mutations in this gene that does not produce the “classic”, but also in women … Read more

Subclinical myocardial dysfunction in Rett syndrome

Reference: Abstract: Aims Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder frequently linked to methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) gene mutations. RTT is associated with a 300-fold increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Rhythm abnormalities and cardiac dysautonomia do not to fully account for cardiac mortality. Conversely, heart function in RTT has not been explored to … Read more

The Hanefeld variant and Gene CDLK5

Reference: Abstract: Defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects specific maturational processes of nerve cells, the Rett syndrome (RTT) results in impaired brain development and a consequent severe deficiency of the organism.ᅠThe etiology of the syndrome is due to the alteration of the MECP2 gene or other genes linked to it, located on chromosome X.ᅠThis … Read more
