Abstract
Rett syndrome (RTT) is caused by mutations in the X-linked gene encoding methyl CpG–binding protein (MeCP2). The loss of MeCP2 function in neurons was thought to cause the disease. A study now challenges this assumption by showing that MeCP2 is expressed in glia and that MeCP2 loss in glia causes abnormalities in neighboring neurons.
