Wang N, Parokonny A, Thatcher K, Driscoll J, Malone B, Dorrani N, et al.
BMC Genet . 2008 Jan; 9:2. PMID: 18177502
Background: Maternally-derived duplications that include the imprinted region on the proximal long arm of chromosome 15 underlie a complex neurobehavioral disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, seizures and a substantial risk...

Yasui D, Peddada S, Bieda M, Vallero R, Hogart A, Nagarajan R, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2007 Nov; 104(49):19416-21. PMID: 18042715
Mutations in MECP2 cause the autism-spectrum disorder Rett syndrome. MeCP2 is predicted to bind to methylated promoters and silence transcription. However, the first large-scale mapping of neuronal MeCP2-binding sites on...

Thatcher K, LaSalle J
Epigenetics . 2007 Apr; 1(1):24-31. PMID: 17464364
Mutations within the gene encoding methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) cause the autism-spectrum neurodevelopmental disorder Rett Syndrome (RTT). MECP2 recruits histone deacetylase to methylated DNA and acts as a...

Delgado I, Kim D, Thatcher K, LaSalle J, Van den Veyver I
BMC Med Genet . 2006 Jul; 7:61. PMID: 16859563
Background: More than 85% of Rett syndrome (RTT) patients have heterozygous mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene which encodes methyl-CpG-binding protein 2, a transcriptional repressor that binds methylated CpG sites....

Thatcher K, Peddada S, Yasui D, LaSalle J
Hum Mol Genet . 2005 Feb; 14(6):785-97. PMID: 15689352
Rett syndrome (RTT), caused by mutations in MECP2 (encoding methyl CpG binding protein 2), and Angelman syndrome (AS), caused by maternal deficiency of chromosome 15q11-13, are autism-spectrum neurodevelopmental disorders. MeCP2...
