Strain Description
This strain is a humanized MECP2 gene mouse model, generated by replacing the endogenous mouse Mecp2 gene with the human MECP2 gene harboring the T158M mutation through embryonic stem cell targeting techniques. This mutation represents the most common human RTT-associated missense mutation in MECP2. Studies have shown that mice carrying this mutation recapitulate many clinical features of RTT.
Application Area
Research on Rett syndrome (RTT)
