Submitting Mutations to RettBASE



We are grateful to our collaborators, who donated their time and effect to provide us with a significant proportion of the data that you see in RettBASE. We encourage submissions from research groups, diagnostic laboratories, doctors/clinicians and counsellors. Please choose one of the formats below to submit your data.

Although the RettBASE link will remain live for now, it is no longer being updated, and we recommend that ClinVar should be used to obtain the most up to date information about the status of specific gene changes in the MECP2, FOXG1 and CDKL5 genes.


A number of people have expressed disappointment in no longer being able to submit information relating to specific MECP2 gene changes into RettBASE. To meet this need, we have established an online form (web form link ) that can be completed. Dr Rius and her team will then assess the gene change against the ACMG classification criteria, and then upload their analysis into ClinVar. This link will remain live for the next 12 months.
We are grateful for the support and positive comments about RettBASE over the years, and hope that these changes will meet the needs of the Rett syndrome community.
