The invention discloses a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in treating Rett syndrome. Further disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for use in treating Rett syndrome. Further disclosed is an in vitro method for diagnosing Rett syndrome in a subject comprising the step of analysing DNA methylation in a sample of the subject. Further disclosed is a kit for diagnosing Rett syndrome in a subject in vitro comprising reagents for quantifying a level of DNA methylation in a sample of the subject, wherein an increased level of DNA methylation in the sample compared to a reference value obtained from a reference sample of a healthy individual indicates that the subject has Rett syndrome.
本发明公开了一种用于治疗雷特综合征的 DNA 甲基转移酶抑制剂或其药学上可接受的盐。进一步公开了一种药物组合物,该组合物包含用于治疗 Rett 综合征的 DNA 甲基转移酶抑制剂或其药学上可接受的盐和药学上可接受的载体。进一步公开了一种诊断受试者 Rett 综合征的体外方法,包括分析受试者样本中 DNA 甲基化的步骤。进一步公开了一种用于体外诊断受试者 Rett 综合征的试剂盒,该试剂盒包括用于量化受试者样本中 DNA 甲基化水平的试剂,其中样本中 DNA 甲基化水平与从健康个体的参考样本中获得的参考值相比增加,表明受试者患有 Rett 综合征。
