Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the MeCP2 gene cause Rett syndrome and are observed in approximately 80% of Rett syndrome patients. To investigate the functional significance of these mutations, we established two functional assays using transient expression systems. Transcriptional repressive activities of MeCP2 mutants were analyzed by the reporter assay in Drosophila cells. The influences of mutations on methyl-CpG-binding...
