Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe progressive neurological disorder that affects almost exclusively females. The gene responsible for this disorder, MECP2, was recently identified by candidate gene strategy. Mutations were detected in 70-85% of RTT cases. We report here five novel frameshift mutations

Mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) cause Rett syndrome, a severe neurodevelopmental disorder occurring predominantly in females. Male patients with Rett syndrome are extremely rare, as the Rett-causing mutations in the MECP2 gene are usually lethal in hemizygous males. However, di
