Genetics of the Rett syndrome.
The current knowledge concerning the inheritance of the Rett syndrome is reviewed. So far the main interest has been focused on the short arm of the X chromosome as the possible location for the gene for the Rett syndrome. There is, however, no conclusive evidence for such a location. The authors suggests that other possible gene locations also should be investigated.
