One particular protein lies at the heart of brain development. A master regulator of gene expression, it's abundantly present in neurons, and its dysfunction underlies Rett syndrome, a neurological ...

The neurodevelomental disease Rett syndrome is usually caused by mutations in a gene called MECP2, which is located on the X chromosome. Patients lose coordination, mobility, and their ability to ...

A new UC Davis MIND Institute study offers critical insights into Rett syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects mostly girls. The research reveals how this condition affects males and females ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the molecular changes leading to Rett syndrome, a severe neurological disorder caused by mutations in the MeCP2 gene encoding methyl-CpG binding protein 2 ...

Modulating alternative splicing of the MECP2 gene has been identified as a potential therapeutic strategy for Rett syndrome. A team of researchers at Texas Children’s Duncan Neurological Research ...

Findings bolster the idea that the functions of this protein -- MeCP2 -- are more centered on nucleosomes, rather than other forms of DNA. One particular protein lies at the heart of brain development ...
