Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder. Mutations in the MECP2 gene on chromosome Xq28 have been shown to be the cause of RTT. Using DNA samples from a RTT patient and her parents, we sequenced three exons and flanking intron regions of the MECP2 gene using the polymerase chain reaction. Sequencing of the MECP2 gene in the proband revealed a novel 41-base pair deletion in...
