An altered neonatal behavioral phenotype in Mecp2 mutant mice.

We examined somatic growth, somatosensory reflexes, and ultrasonic calls from postnatal day 3 to day 18 in Mecp2 mutant mice, a mouse model of Rett syndrome. Both Mecp2 null male and Mecp2 heterozygous female mice exhibited normal somatic growth, but transient delays in the development of some reflexes relative to sex-matched wild-type mice.
