Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by regression in cognition and adaptability with autistic behavior, stereotypical hand movements, epilepsy and ataxia. Over 120 different mutations in the methyl-CpG binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) have been reported in patients with RTT, but a genotype-phenotype correlation has not been established. We have studied MECP2...
