New advances in the study of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy

Some types of leukodystrophies, that are neurodegenerative hereditary myelin disorders, are characterized by the presence of vacuoles in which myelin lamellae isolate CNS axons . The megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy (MLC), caused by mutations in the gene MLC1 and GlialCAM is a rare disease with appearance of this type of vacuoles, and currently there is no treatment

Excess in the protein that causes Rett Syndrome damages neurons

The MECP2 protein controls the activity of hundreds of genes in neurons. When mutations cause loss of its activity appears Rett syndrome, a disease of neurodevelopment which is the second most common cause of mental retardation in females after Down syndrome. An increased activity of MECP2 could also alter neurons as men with extra copies
