Rett syndrome linked to defects in forming the MeCP2/Rbfox/LASR complex in mouse models

MeCP2 mutations can cause Rett syndrome, a severe childhood neurological disorder. Here the authors show that MeCP2 mediates the higher-order assembly of a large splicing complex Rbfox/LASR, which is disrupted in the mouse models of Rett syndrome.
