Abstract excerpt

In mammals, methyl-CpG binding proteins play a significant role in the control of gene expression through their association with chromatin-remodeling complexes. Mutations in the gene coding for methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) cause Rett syndrome and have also been reported in a number of X-linked mental retardation diseases. In this study, DNA samples from 363 male individuals with syndromic and...
