In addition, we also show that aminoglycosides increased the prevalence of full-length MeCP2 protein in a dose-dependent manner in a lymphocyte cell line derived from a Rett syndrome girl with the R255X mutation.
A missense mutation, T158M was the most common mutation of MECP2, identified in 22 (19.1%) patients, followed by four nonsense mutations, R168X (14.8%), R270X (13.0%), R255X (9.6%), and R294X (6.1%) in 115 patients with classical RTT.
