Correlation between MECP2 genotype and phenotype in Chinese patients with Rett syndrome

OBJECTIVE: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that represents one of the most common genetic causes of mental retardation in girls. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between MECP2 genotype and phenotype and thereby not only to provide assistance for clinical...

520 |a OBJECTIVE: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that represents one of the most common genetic causes of mental retardation in girls. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between MECP2 genotype and phenotype and thereby not only to provide assistance for clinical care, but also facilitate clinical genetic counseling 
520 |a METHOD: Individual phenotype characteristic and clinical severity of 126 children with RTT diagnosed by molecular genetic methods were evaluated by using scales of Kerr et al and Scala et al. Statistical package SPSS 12.0 was used for analyses of data. Since the majority of the data were not normally distributed, non-parametric tests were used. The Kruskal-Wallis test/Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney test was employed to compare total severity phenotype scores. The Fisher exact test was used for comparing rates. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05 
520 |a RESULT: There were no significant differences in the average overall scores for RTT patients with mutations in the region of methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) compared with those mutations in the transcription repression domain (TRD) and C terminal segment (CTS), also patients with nonsense mutations compared with missense mutations, frameshift mutations and large deletions (P > 0.05). The RTT patients with nonsense mutations located in the region of MBD have more severe phenotype than those with missense mutations in the same region (P = 0.016). Among p.T158M, p.R168X, c.806delG and p.R255X, there were no significant differences in the average overall scores (P > 0.05), but there were significant differences in language skill (P = 0.028) and in language impairment rate at different level (P = 0.019) 
520 |a CONCLUSION: There are relationships between MECP2 genotype and phenotype:the RTT patients with nonsense mutations located in MBD tend to develop more severe phenotype;there are significant differences in language skill and language impairment rate in the groups with p.T158M, p.R168X, c.806del and p.R255X, which had higher frequency in children below five-years of age and the p.R168X present with most severe impairment
