Rett Syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked, dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in\n                  <jats:italic>MECP2<\/jats:italic>\n                  , encoding the epigenetic regulator methyl CpG binding protein.

We identified significant overlap in dysregulated genes and 71 shared pathways between the effects of PCB exposure and MeCP2 mutation, and co-mitigation of their transcriptional impacts. PCBs influenced the non-cell- autonomous transcriptional effects of MeCP2 mutations in wild-type-expressing neurons within the mosaic mutant female cortex in both mouse and human, suggesting that the interactions predominantly involve homeostatic gene networks.\n
