Treatment of epilepsy in Rett syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Epilepsy is very frequent in Rett syndrome (RTT) patients and often difficult to treat. Because most cases of RTT are caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene it is reasonable to assume that convulsions are based on common pathogenetic mechanisms and thus should have a similar response to antiepileptic drugs. PURPOSE To find the optimal treatment for epilepsy in RTT. METHODS We pe...
متن کاملImproving Treatment Outcomes for Tuberculosis
Major issues are currently associated with Tuberculosis (TB) treatment, particularly in patients infected by Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis/Extensively Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (mdr-TB/XDR-TB) resistant mycobacteria. A new threat recently reported in various Asian countries is totally Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (TDR). The presence of such Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains is disturbing a...
متن کاملA Model for Neural Development and Treatment of Rett Syndrome
SUMMARY Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex neu-rodevelopmental diseases in which different combinations of genetic mutations may contribute to the phenotype. Using Rett syndrome (RTT) as an ASD genetic model, we developed a culture system using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from RTT patients' fibroblasts. RTT patients' iPSCs are able to undergo X-inactivation and generate func...
متن کاملIGF1 as a Potential Treatment for Rett Syndrome: Safety Assessment in Six Rett Patients
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder that affects one in ten thousand girls and has no cure. The majority of RTT patients display mutations in the gene that codes for the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Clinical observations and neurobiological analysis of mouse models suggest that defects in the expression of MeCP2 protein compromise the development of the cen...
