Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate mutations of MECP2 gene in classical sporadic Rett syndrome (RTT) patients in China. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction, single strand conformation polymorphism, cloning and direct sequencing were employed to analyse the three exons of MECP2 gene in 26 RTT patients and their parents, and in 2 sisters of 2 of the RTT patients. RESULTS: Nine different mutations in exon 3 were identified in...
