Ubiquitous Reactivation and Targeted Preservation of MeCP2 Expression in a Mouse Model of Rett Syndrome

Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is predominately caused by mutations of the MECP2 gene. As neuronal apoptosis is not observed in RTT patients and MeCP2-deficient mice, the neurological deficits may be reversible. To address this, we reactivated MeCP2 expression ubiquitously in Me...
