The research, published by Cell Press in the September 25th issue of the journal Neuron, also uncovers a novel and unexpected role for the gene that causes RTT.
RTT is a devastating neurological disorder associated with a broad array of abnormalities that impact almost every part of the nervous system. The majority of RTT cases are caused by mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein (MECP2) gene, which encodes MeCP2, a protein widely expressed...
