CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in toward creating a Rett syndrome cell model with a synonymous mutation in the MECP2 gene.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Rett syndrome is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disease caused by mutation in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene. This gene encodes a methylated DNA-binding protein, which acts as a transcriptional regulatory factor. The present study aimed to establish a cell model of Rett syndrome with the MECP2 synonymous mutation c.354G>T (p.Gly118Gly). In addition, the molecular mechanism of...
