In 1999, mutations in the X-linked gene methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) were first reported in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT). The MECP2 gene is located at Xq28 and consists of 4 exons. About 80-90 % of the classic RTT patients harbor mutations in the coding region of MECP2, while the molecu
## Communicated by Richard Wooster Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes predispose women to breast and ovarian cancer. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are 83 and 86 kb long, with coding sequences of 5.7 and 10.2 kb, scattered over 22 and 26 coding exons, respectively. The large majority of the alterations ident
