Reference: QLK2-CT-2002-51761 Abstract: Ret Syndrome, an important cause of mental retardation in women, is associated with mutations in the gene encoding methyl- Cog binding protein. The aim of this project is to identify target genes whose expression is altered as a result of Mapco mutations. PROJECT DETAILS beginning: 2003. end: 2005. Country of research: Spain … Read more
Reference: ORPHA258004 Abstract: Rett syndrome (RS) is a neurological disorder primarily affecting girls, with an incidence of about 1/10,000 female births. It is a genetic disease, the second cause of severe mental retardation in women and a leading cause of postnatal neurodevelopmental regression. Rett syndrome is a model for autism-spectrum disorders and it is classified … Read more
Reference: 253110 Abstract: Insults during the perinatal stage of brain development lead to major causes of neurological disability throughout life, ranging from motor deficits, cognitive limitations, learning difficulties and even severe disabilities, such as cerebral palsy. In term newborn infants, hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is the most common cause of encephalopathy and seizures. Despite major … Read more
Reference: 503433 Abstract: In this ‘post-genomic’ era, advances in epigenetic research represent a new frontier that is predicted to yield novel insights for gene regulation, cell differentiation, stem cell plasticity, organismal development, human diseases, cancer, infertility and aging. A central emerging concept proposes that there is an ‘epigenetic code’, which considerably extends the information potential … Read more
