Abstract excerpt
Rett syndrome caused by MECP2 variants is characterized by a heterogenous clinical spectrum accounted for in 60% of cases by hot-spot variants. Focusing on the most frequent variants, we generated in vitro iPSC-neurons from the blood of RTT girls with p.Arg133Cys and p.Arg255*, associated to mild and severe phenotype, respectively, and of an RTT male harboring the close to p.Arg255*, p.Gly252Argfs*7 variant....
