Seizures in Rett syndrome: an overview from a one-year calendar study

Information on daily seizure occurrence and health service utilization and monthly anti-epileptic drug use was provided on 162 Rett syndrome cases for a...

Delineation of large deletions of the MECP2 gene in Rett syndrome patients, including a familial case with a male proband

Comprehensive genetic screening programs have led to the identification of pathogenic methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) mutations...

Physical and mental health of mothers caring for a child with Rett syndrome

This study compared the behavior profile of cases in the Australian Rett Syndrome Database (ARSD) with those in a British study using the Rett Syndrome...

Early progressive encephalopathy in boys and MECP2 mutations

MECP2 mutations mainly occur in females with Rett syndrome. Mutations have been described in 11 boys with progressive encephalopathy...

Lost in translation: translational interference from a recurrent mutation in exon 1 of MECP2

Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X linked neuro-developmental disorder affecting mostly girls. Mutations in the coding region of MECP2 are found in 80% of classic...

NTNG1 mutations are a rare cause of Rett syndrome

A translocation that disrupted the netrin G1 gene (NTNG1) was recently reported in a patient with the early seizure variant of Rett syndrome (RTT).

The association between behaviour and genotype in Rett Syndrome using the Australian Rett Syndrome Database

This study compared the behavior profile of cases in the Australian Rett Syndrome Database (ARSD) with those in a British study using the Rett Syndrome...

The CDKL5 Disorder

One of the many reasons for setting up the International CDKL5 Disorder Database was to learn more about this condition.

Research snapshots

Our research covers a broad range of areas from the influence of mutation type on health outcomes to factors impacting on the lives of familes.

Behavior and mutation type

We also wanted to find out whether any particular behaviours were associated with any specific mutation types.
