Functional analyses of MeCP2 mutations associated with Rett syndrome using transient expression systems.

Abstract excerpt

Rett syndrome, an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder, is a major cause of mental retardation in females. Recent genetic analyses have revealed that mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein gene encoding MeCP2 are associated with Rett syndrome. In this study, we used transient expression systems to investigate the functional significance of mutations seen in patients with Rett syndrome. Missense mutations in...
