Human Xp22.2 has been proposed as a candidate region for the Rett syndrome (RTT) gene. M6b, a member of the proteolipid protein gene family, was mapped to Xp22.2 within one of the RTT candidate regions. In this article we describe the structure of the M6b gene, refine the physical mapping of M6b bet
Since 1999, many laboratories have confirmed that mutations in the MECP2 gene are the primary cause of Rett syndrome (RTT or RS) and identified mutations in 70 to 90% of the sporadically affected girls. Most of the screenings are PCR-based and restricted to the coding part of the gene and therefore
