Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the MECP2 (Methyl-CpG-binding protein) gene have been reported to cause Rett syndrome (RTT), an X-linked progressive encephalopathy. Recent studies have identified large gene rearrangements that escape the common PCR-based mutation screening strategy and mutations in a novel MeCP2 isoform (named MECP2B). We have collected the results of MECP2 mutational analysis concerning 424 RTT patients conducted...
