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
The gene for the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) has been mapped to a candidate region for Rett syndrome (RTT) on the short arm of the X chromosome. The recent report of a translocation that disrupted the gene in an individual with mental retardation and autistic behavior prompted us to ex
We completed a systematic genome-wide search for evidence of loci linked to schizophrenia using a collection of 70 pedigrees containing multiple affected individuals according to three phenotype classifications: schizophrenia only (48 pedigrees; 70 sibpairs); schizophrenia plus schizoaffective disor
