Rett syndrome: Pathogenicity and regulation of MECP2 (human) and Mecp2 (mouse) genes and their protein products through various molecular mechanisms
Rett syndrome was first described over 50 years ago as an unusual clinical entity. Mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene are the primary causes of Rett syndrome. The unstructured MeCP2 protein adopts various functional conformations, complicating its study. Researchers have investigated the pathogenicity and regulation of MECP2 through mechanisms such as apoptosis, mitophagy, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, BMP signaling, NF-kB, STAT3, and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These mechanisms have not been reviewed in such detail before. Summarizing these pathways is essential for facilitating further exploration by researchers; therefore, we have comprehensively summarized these pathways.
期刊介绍:
The subject areas of Reviews in Mutation Research encompass the entire spectrum of the science of mutation research and its applications, with particular emphasis on the relationship between mutation and disease. Thus this section will cover advances in human genome research (including evolving technologies for mutation detection and functional genomics) with applications in clinical genetics, gene therapy and health risk assessment for environmental agents of concern.
