[Research progress of Rett syndrome causing gene MECP2--the structure, function and modulation of MECP2].

Abstract excerpt

Rett syndrome (RTT), an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by regression of language, stereotype hand movement and loss of purposeful hand use, is primarily caused by mutation of menthyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2). The 76 kb human MECP2 is characterized by three salient features: a very large intron 2 (60 kb), an 8.5 kb 3'-UTR with highly conserved regions and different polyadenylation...
