Gut microbiome and metabolic profiles of mouse model for MeCP2 duplication syndrome by Wu, Junfang, Hu, Qingyu, Rao, Xiaoping, Zhao, Hongyang, Tang, Huiru, Wang, Yulan

“…The extra copy of the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCp2) gene causes MeCP2 duplication syndrome (MDS), a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability and autistic phenotypes. However, the disturbed microbiome and metabolic profiling underlying the autistic-like behavioral deficits of MDS are rarely investigated. …”

Enhanced long-term potentiation and impaired learning in mice lacking alternative exon 33 of Caᵥ1.2 calcium channel by Navakkode, Sheeja, Zhai, Jing, Wong, Yuk Peng, Li, Guang, Soong, Tuck Wah

“…The CACNA1C (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1 C) gene that encodes the CaV1.2 channel is a prominent risk gene for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders with cognitive and social impairments like schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, depression and autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). We have shown previously that mice with exon 33 deleted from CaV1.2 channel (CaV1.2-exon 33-/-) displayed increased CaV1.2 current density and single channel open probability in cardiomyocytes, and were prone to develop arrhythmia. …”
