Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) have been found to be a cause of Rett syndrome (RTT). In order to provide further insights into the distribution and the spectrum of mutations, we investigated, in addition to the whole coding sequence, a phylogenetically conserved sequence within the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of the MECP2 gene for 55 sporadic RTT, including 47 typical and...
