Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in MECP2 are the main cause of Rett Syndrome. To date, no pathogenic synonymous MECP2 mutation has yet been identified. Here, we investigated a de novo synonymous variant c.48C>T (p.Gly16Gly) identified in a girl presenting with a typical RTT phenotype. METHODS: In silico analyses to predict the effects of sequence variation on mRNA splicing were employed, followed by sequencing and...
