FIGURE 1.
Gross RTT‐like phenotypes are rescued with MECP2 transgene in male and female R294X mice. (A) Body weights of male R294X mice are lower than that of WT littermates at 4 weeks of age and beyond. This phenotype is rescued by MECP2 transgene in male R294X TG mice, whose body weights are not different from WT. (WT n = 6, blue; R294X n = 5, orange; TG n = 9, green; R294X TG n = 8, purple) (B) Male R294X mice exhibit progression of RTT‐like phenotypes, as reflected by an increase in phenotypic score, which is rescued by MECP2 transgene. (WT n = 6; R294X n = 5; TG n = 9; R294X TG n = 8) (C) Female R294X mouse body weights are not different from that of WT littermates. (WT n = 5; R294X n = 11; TG n = 7; R294X TG n = 9) (D) Female R294X mice exhibit progression of RTT‐like phenotypes, as reflected by an increase in phenotypic score, which is rescued by MECP2 transgene. (WT n = 5; R294X n = 11; TG n = 7; R294X TG n = 9)
