Global prevalence of Rett syndrome: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Rett syndrome is a rare, severe neurodevelopmental disorder. Almost all cases occur in girls, in association with spontaneous (non-inherited) mutations involving the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene located on the X chromosome. Diagnostic criteria for typical Rett syndrome require a period of regression, followed by recovery or stabilization, and fulfillment of all four main criteria (loss of purposeful hand skills, loss of spoken language, gait abnormalities, and stereotypic hand movements).

A systematic review and meta-analyses on the prevalence of pregnancy outcomes in migraine treated patients: a contribution from the IMI2 ConcePTION project.

The present study aims to summarize the safety profile of the medications used to treat migraine during pregnancy by performing a systematic review and meta-analyses. The term "migrain*" combined with pregnancy terms were used to search Embase, PubMed, PsychInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science through 31 December 2020. Pooled prevalences of untreated and treated migraine patients were estimated using MetaXL software.

High-throughput discovery of functional disordered regions: investigation of transactivation domains.

Over 40% of proteins in any eukaryotic genome encode intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) that do not adopt defined tertiary structures. Certain IDRs perform critical functions, but discovering them is non-trivial as the biological context determines their function. We present IDR-Screen, a framework to discover functional IDRs in a high-throughput manner by simultaneously assaying large numbers of DNA sequences that code for short disordered sequences.
