Rett syndrome (RTT) is caused by mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) transcription factor. RTT patients undergo a developmental regression between 6-18 months of age, resulting in the presentation of symptoms including repetitive behaviors, seizures, autistic-like features, and apneas. We have reported that levels of metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGlu7) are significantly decreased...
