Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene. Despite its severe phenotypes, studies in mouse models suggest that restoring MeCP2 levels can reverse RTT symptomology. Nevertheless, traditional gene therapy approaches are hindered by MeCP2's narrow therapeutic window, complicating the safe delivery of viral constructs...
