Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the transcriptional repressor methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) and represents the leading genetic cause for mental retardation in girls.

It was suggested that an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission is responsible for the...
