Gene context of Rett Syndrome

  • CDKL5 belongs to the same molecular pathway of MeCP2 and it is responsible for the early-onset seizure variant of Rett syndrome [27].
  • MeCP2 deficiency in Rett syndrome causes epigenetic aberrations at the PWS/AS imprinting center that affects UBE3A expression [28].
  • Based on its established expression pattern and known function, GLRA2 was selected as a candidate gene for Rett syndrome [29].
  • The knowledge of additional existing MBD proteins and their expression pattern is important in the context of Rett syndrome [30].
  • Mutation analysis of the HDAC 1, 2, 8 and CDKL5 genes in Rett syndrome patients without mutations in MECP2 [31].
