MECP2 and CDKL5 gene mutation analysis in Chinese patients with Rett syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein2 (MECP2) gene. In this study, the MECP2 sequences in 121 unrelated Chinese patients with classical or atypical RTT were screened for deletions and mutations. In all, we identified 45 different MECP2 mutations in 102 of these RTT patients. The p. T158M mutation (15.7%) was the...
