Identification of genes for X-linked intellectual disability

by

Reference: Abstract: Functional studies of CDKL5 implicated in an X-linked intellectual disability syndrome with early onset epileptic encelopathy. We have shown that mutations in the X-linked gene CDKL5/STK9 are a significant cause of a severe neurodevelopmental disorder (previously called atypical Rett syndrome (RTT) or variant of RTT), which affects predominantly girls (Kalscheuer et al, Am … Read more

Early onset seizures and Rett-like features associated with mutations in CDKL5

by

Reference: RES-145-28-1003 Abstract: Mutations in theﾠCDKL5ﾠgene (also known as STK9) have recently been shown to cause early onset epilepsy and severe mental retardation (ISSX or West syndrome). Patients withﾠCDKL5ﾠmutations sometimes also show features similar to those seen in Rett Syndrome (RTT). We have screened theﾠCDKL5ﾠgene in 94 patients with RTT or a RTT-like phenotype who … Read more

From Synaptopathies to System Dysfunction

by

Reference: Subproject to FZT 103 Abstract: This area of ??research focuses on genetic diseases that result in defects of synapse formation and function, which cause motor and cognitive deficits in Rett syndrome and as the associate autism.ﾠCause of Rett syndrome are encoded spontaneous mutations in X-linked MECP2 gene, the transcriptional regulator methyl-CpG binding protein 2 … Read more
