[ 21 ] Trofinetide is a novel synthetic analog of the amino‐terminal tripeptide of IGF-1 designed to treat the core symptoms of Rett syndrome by reducing neuroinflammation and supporting synaptic function, it ...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a genetic disorder that typically becomes apparent after 6-18 months of age and almost exclusively in girls. [4] Symptoms include impairments in language and coordination, and repetitive movements. [4]
The median time interval between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis was 6 years, with a range of 26 days to 14 years. This suggests that the symptoms of MAGIC syndrome may manifest relatively long after the initial onset of symptoms. During the course of MAGIC syndrome, the signs and symptoms of BD may typically occur before those of RP. [4]
In 2016, DBS was found to improve learning and memory in a mouse model of Rett syndrome. [72] More recent (2018) work showed, that forniceal DBS upregulates genes involved in synaptic function, cell survival, and neurogenesis, [ 73 ] making some first steps at explaining the restoration of hippocampal circuit function.

March 21 (3/21) is World Down Syndrome Day, chosen because people with Down Syndrome have three copies of the 21st chromosome instead of the usual two. "Gabe lives his life to the fullest," Nick ...
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), popularly known as Kennedy's disease, is a rare, adult-onset, X-linked recessive lower motor neuron disease caused by trinucleotide CAG repeat expansions in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene, which results in both loss of AR function and toxic gain of function.
