Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene mutations in an Italian sample of patients with pervasive developmental disorder and mental retardation.

Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene mutations have been identified in girls with Rett syndrome and in boys with heterogeneous neuropsychiatric disorders. Because of the limited or inconsistent data reported in literature, the role of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene in the pathogenesis of mental retardation and pervasive developmental disorders needs further study.
