Abstract
Because of the recent identification of several mutations of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT), a patient with suspected RTT from an autism clinic was screened for mutations. She was found to have a novel heterozygous nonsense mutation, 129C>T (Q19X), which leads to the most severely truncated MECP2 protein reported to date. Sequencing of parental DNA revealed the mutation was de novo. The patient was not...
