Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome (RS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in MECP2 gene. Exons 2, 3, and 4, in addition to intronic and 3'UTR adjacent regions, were sequenced in 80 patients with RS. Twenty-nine sequence variations were detected in 49 patients, 34 (69.4%) patients with the classic form of RS, and 15 (30.6%) patients with atypical forms of RS. Thirteen of the 29 detected mutations represent novel...
