Role of Mecp2 Gene in Neuro Developmental Disorders
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 5
Abstract
The increasing emergence of Complex Neurological Disorders (NDDs) necessitates genotypic approaches to characterize therelevant phenotypes. The analysis of complex NDDs have shown that the genetics is fundamental to such diseases. Interestingly both mutations and polymorphisms are involved, occurring in a single gene or clusters of genes.MECP2 gene is found to be engaged in wide range of neurological disordersand hence a comprehensive investigation on this gene is required to underlie the aetiology of such alarming diseases.
