Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects girls, most of whom have mutations in the transcription regulatory gene MECP2. However, mutations in MECP2 also have been ...

A new UC Davis MIND Institute study offers critical insights into Rett syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects mostly girls. The research reveals how this condition affects males and females ...

Improvements in motor function and memory suggest human neurodevelopmental disorders may be amenable to treatment, even after onset of symptoms. According to a researcher, neurodevelopmental disorders ...

Though many studies approach the developmental disorder Rett syndrome as a single condition arising from general loss of function in the gene MECP2, a new study by neuroscientists at The Picower ...

When evaluating the significance of some intervention, randomized-control trials are our gold standard. However, randomized-control trials are usually constrained by time and hindered by some bias. In ...

In two new studies, researchers at the UC Davis MIND Institute have clarified how a long-banned group of chemicals, called polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), affect genetic activity. The research helps ...

Symptoms and disease progression of Rett syndrome are different in females than males. A new study shows why it is important to understand these differences to develop better treatments. A new UC ...
