MECP2 coding sequence and 3'UTR variation in 172 unrelated autistic patients

Mutations in the coding sequence of the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene (MECP2), which cause Rett syndrome (RTT), have been found in male and female autistic subjects without, however, a causal relation having unequivocally been established. In this study, the MECP2 gene was scanned in a Portugues...
