| Identified Mutation |
ARG270TER; In 3 of 31 patients with Rett syndrome (312750), Huppke et al. (Hum Molec Genet 9:1369-1375,2000) identified an 808C-T transition in the MECP2 gene, resulting in a premature stop codon (arg270-to-ter; R270X) in exon 3. Bienvenu et al. (Hum Molec Genet 9:1377-1384,2000) found the same mutation in 5 of 46 Rett syndrome patients studied. De Bona et al. (Europ J Hum Genet 8:325-330,2000) identified the R270X mutation in 4 unrelated individuals with Rett syndrome, indicating that it represents a hotspot. |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; donor subject has a C>T transition at nucleotide 808 in exon 3 of the MECP2 gene (808C>T) resulting in a premature stop codon [Arg270Ter (R270X)] |
