Abstract excerpt
This report describes molecular analysis of the MECP2 gene in 37 Israeli patients suspected of having Rett syndrome (RTT). The patients were from various Jewish ethnic groups and from Arabic origin. Of the 17 patients with classical RTT, bi-directional sequencing of the coding exons revealed MECP2 mutations in 14 patients. About 66% of the mutations were located in previously described hot-spots. One case...
