MECP2 isoform-specific vectors with regulated expression for Rett syndrome gene therapy.

MECP2 isoform-specific vectors with regulated expression for Rett syndrome gene therapy.

BACKGROUND:Rett Syndrome (RTT) is an Autism Spectrum Disorder and the leading cause of mental retardation in females. RTT is caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG-Binding Protein-2 (MECP2) gene and has no treatment. Our objective is to develop viral vectors for MECP2 gene transfer into Neural Stem C...
