300005.0020; RETT SYNDROME |
| Identified Mutation |
ARG168TER; Wan et al. [Hum. Genet. 65: 1520-1529 (1999)] identified an arg168-to-ter (R168X) mutation in the MECP2 gene in 6 unrelated sporadic cases of Rett syndrome, as well as in 2 affected sisters and their normal mother. |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; donor subject is heterozygous for an 502C>T transition in the MECP2 gene resulting in an arg168-to-ter [ARG168TER (R168X)] nonsense mutation |
