et al. Rett syndrome mutations abolish the interaction of MeCP2 with the NCoR/SMRT co-repressor. Nat. Neurosci. 16, 898–902 (2013).This study identifies the NID in MeCP2 and demonstrates that RTT-causing mutations in the NID abolish the interaction between MeCP2 and the NCoR–SMRT co...
Current research on Rett syndrome is focused on gene therapy. Scientists are trying to figure out a way to substitute the malfunctioning MeCP2 gene, as well as to locate other genes that may be involved in RTT. Support groups for Rett syndrome Support groups for parents and other caregivers ...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare disorder causing severe intellectual and physical disability. The cause is a mutation in the gene coding for the methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2), a multifunctional regulator protein. Purpose of the study was integration and investigation of multiple gene ...
Rett综合征(Rettsyndrome,R1Tr)是一种神经系统发育 异常性疾病,主要累及女孩,是导致女性智力低下的主要原 因之一.女孩发病率大约为1:10000～1:15000.典型RITI1 的临床特征为:出生后6～18个月生长发育基本正常,随后 出现神经发育停滞或倒退,丧失已获得的技能(如手的功能, ...
Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe postnatal neurodevelopmental disorder, is caused by mutations in the X-linked gene encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). MeCP2 is a chromatin organizer regulating gene expression. RTT-causing mutations have been shown to affect this function. However, the...
Disruption of MeCP2 attenuates circadian rhythm in CRISPR/Cas9‐based Rett syndrome model mouse Although CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing is widely applied to mimic human disorders, whether acute manipulation of disease-causing genes in the brain leads to behavioral abnormalities in non-human primates...
Rett syndrome by causing abnormal dendritic spine density [178]. This model is supported by findings in mice that lack the methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (Mecp2), a model of Rett syndrome. In symptomaticMecp2mutant mice,membrane currentsand dendritic Ca2+signals evoked byrecombinant BDNFare ...
Discovering which genes are misregulated in the absence of functional MeCP2 and demonstrating their role in causing neuronal dysfunction and disease manifestations are challenging but important steps for understanding the pathogenesis of Rett syndrome and related disorders....
