Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked autism spectrum disorder caused by mutations in the MeCP2 gene in the great majority of cases. Evidence suggests a potential role of oxidative stress (OS) in its pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the potential value of OS markers (non-protein-bound iron (NPBI) and F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs)) in explaining natural history, genotype-phenotype correlation, and...
