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.

Altered attainment of developmental milestones

Regression, including the loss of previously learned skills, such as hand function and communication skills, is one of the most suggestive features of Rett synd

Investigating genotype - phenotype relationships in Rett syndrome using an international database

This study used information from international Rett syndrome database to investigate the relationship between clinical characteristics and different mutations.

Refining the phenotype of common mutations

Using information from the Australian Rett Syndrome database, we coded symptoms according to severity scales and grouped by type and location of mutation.

Updating the profile of C-terminal MECP2 deletions

Therefore, we wanted to compare the features of girls and women with a C-terminal deletion with those with other MECP2 mutations.

Validating the Rett Syndrome Gross Motor Scale

Our study investigated the quality of measurements obtained using the Rett Syndrome Gross Motor Scale.
