Genetic basis of Rett syndrome.

Mental retardation and developmental disabilities research reviews - 1 Jan 2002

Van den Veyver Ignatia B, Zoghbi Huda Y

Abstract excerpt

The origin of Rett syndrome has long been debated, but several observations have suggested an X-linked dominant inheritance pattern. We and others have pursued an exclusion-mapping strategy using DNA from a small number of familial Rett syndrome cases. This work resulted in the narrowing of the region likely to harbor the mutated gene to Xq27.3-Xqter. After systematic exclusion of several candidate genes, we...
