Share of Cost, Discovery Of A Mutant Gene In Rett Syndrome
Tuesday, Feb. 25th 2014 8:00 AM
Discovery of a mutant gene responsible for a disease is a milestone, but for most conditions, it may be only a first step towards a treatment or cure. Understanding Rett Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, is further complicated by the fact that the implicated gene controls a suite of other genes.
