Among these are classic disorders such as Angelman syndrome and MECP2-related disorder (formerly Rett syndrome), as well as more recently described clinical entities associated with mutations in CASK, CDKL5, CREBBP, and EP300 (Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome), FOXG1, SLC9A6 (Christianson syndrome), and TCF4 (Pitt-Hopkins syndrome).

Additional testing for large-scale MECP2 deletions is recommended for patients with Rett syndrome or Angelman syndrome phenotypes (with negative 15q11-13 analysis) following negative sequencing.

Rett syndrome (RTT), caused by mutations in MECP2 (encoding methyl CpG binding protein 2), and Angelman syndrome (AS), caused by maternal deficiency of chromosome 15q11-13, are autism-spectrum neurodevelopmental disorders.

In addition, MeCP2 deficiency resulted in elevated histone H3 acetylation and H3(K4) methylation and reduced H3(K9) methylation at the PWS/AS imprinting center, with no effect on DNA methylation or SNRPN expression.

The aim of this study was to analyze well-characterized cases with MR and to clarify the role of the MECP2 gene in the etiology of MR and atypical Angelman syndrome.

While MECP2 mutations can cause a phenotype reminiscent of AS in rare cases, they fail to account for the excess of sporadic patients with a definitive clinical diagnosis of AS.

To study the clinical overlap between Rett (RTT) and Angelman syndromes (AS), we screened the MECP2 gene in a cohort of 78 patients diagnosed as possible AS but who showed a normal methylation pattern at the UBE3A locus.

These findings illustrate the phenotypic overlap between the two conditions and suggest that screening for MECP2 mutations should be considered in AS patients without a demonstrable molecular or cytogenetic abnormality of 15q11-13.
