| Identified Mutation |
ARG306CYS; In 2 unrelated patients with Rett syndrome (312750), Bourdon et al. [Hum. Genet. 108: 43-50 (2001)] found a 916C-T transition in exon 3 of the MECP2 gene resulting in an arg306-to-cys (R306C) amino acid change. |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; onset at 18 months of age; diagnosed at age 3; EEG showed minor abnormalities; breath holding, swallowing difficulties; growth retardation; limited purposeful hand use; muscle rigidity; some repetitive hand motions; speaks using single words; some circulation problems; occasional tremors; no scoliosis; seizures; small feet; teeth grinding; donor subject has a 916C-T (916C>T) transition in exon 3 of the MECP2 gene resulting in an arg306-to-cys [ARG306CYS (R306C)] amino acid change. |
