Chromosomal abnormalities in Rett Syndrome and related disorders
This table contains published instances of large chromosomal abnormalities (mostly deletions) that are associated with a Rett-syndrome-like phenotype. The rationale is that new candidate genes for Rett syndrome are likely to be found in the regions affected. The inclusion of a gene in this table DOES NOT imply a role in disease (Rett syndrome or any other). As its role is to highlight novel areas of interest, abnormalities at known loci (i.e. Xq28 for MECP2 and Xp22 for CDKL5) have not been included in this table.
