Differential brain region‐specific expression of MeCP2 and BDNF in Rett Syndrome patients: a distinct grey‐white matter variation
4 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene mutations. Previous studies of MeCP2 in the human brain showed variable and inconsistent mosaic-pattern immunolabelling, which has been interpreted as a reflection of activation-state variability. We aimed to study post mortem MeCP2 and BDNF (MeCP2 target) degradation and brain...
