Experience-dependent MeCP2 expression in the excitatory cells of mouse visual thalamus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Loss or gain of copy number of the gene encoding the transcription factor methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) leads to neurodevelopmental disorders (Rett and MeCP2 duplication syndrome), indicating that precisely regulated MeCP2 expression during ...

Exploring the Impact of RNU4‐2 Defects on Neurodevelopmental Disorders in a Korean Population

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Among 15 450 Korean individuals, noncoding RNU4‐2 variants, primarily the recurrent de novo n.64_65insT, make up 0.72% of neurodevelopmental disorders. Modeling and RNA‐seq suggest U4/U6 disruption and abnormal 5′ splice‐site selection, supporting routine use of WGS analysis for reanalyzing unresolved cases. ABSTRACT Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs)

Whole Exome Sequencing for Romanian Patients With Neurodevelopmental Disorders Through an International Collaboration

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Whole exome sequencing for Romanian patients with neurodevelopmental disorders through an international collaboration—this study has provided a 50% diagnostic yield for patients with NDDs (27 positive results from 54 patients), supporting the implementation of a WES analysis that can identify SNVs, small INDELs, CNVs, and mitochondrial variants ...

Non‐epileptic paroxysmal events in Rett syndrome: A systematic review of case‐based and observational evidence

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This systematic review identifies and categorizes the spectrum of non‐epileptic paroxysmal events in Rett syndrome. Respiratory disturbances, behavioural episodes, and motor events were the most commonly reported. Improving clinician awareness and diagnostic clarity is key to avoiding unnecessary treatment and enhancing quality of life for individuals ...

Clinical and genetic characterization of intellectual disability

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This study examines the etiological factors and comorbidities in a large cohort of Finnish patients with intellectual disability. Genetic causes—including chromosomal abnormalities and pathogenic gene variants—were more frequently identified in individuals with moderate to profound intellectual disability.

Values of Individuals With Rare Genetic Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Their Family/Caregivers in Healthcare: A Scoping Review to Inform Guideline Development

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Healthcare decision‐making for individuals with rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders (RGNDs) associated with intellectual disabilities (ID) can be complex due to the intersection of lifelong care needs, limited medical expertise and communication barriers.

Full‐Spectrum Medicinal Cannabis Plant Extract 0.08% THC (NTI164) Improves Symptoms of Rett Syndrome: An Open‐Label Study

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this Phase I/II open‐label study was to assess the safety and efficacy of NTI164, a novel full‐spectrum medicinal cannabis plant extract 0.08% Δ‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in Rett syndrome (RTT). Methods Eleven female participants (5–16 years) with a pathogenic variant in the MECP2 gene were recruited to this study, receiving

Persistent Expression of Serotonin Receptor 5b Alters Breathing Behavior in Male MeCP2 Knockout Mice

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Mutations in the transcription factor methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) cause the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome (RTT). Besides many other neurological problems, RTT patients show irregular breathing with recurrent apneas or breath-holdings.

Characterisation of sleep apneas and respiratory circuitry in mice lacking CDKL5

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CDKL5 gene. Central apneas during wakefulness have been reported in patients with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Studies on CDKL5‐knockout mice, a CDKL5 deficiency disorder model, reported sleep apneas, but it is still unclear whether these events are central (central ...
