Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder that affects females. Exclusion mapping studies using a new family with maternal inheritance of RTT defined Xq28 as the candidate region for the RTT gene. Six candidate genes were selected for mutation analysis based on their established expression patterns and known functions in the CNS. These are: Glutamate receptor subunit 3 (GLUR3), GABA...
