title: Genetics of the Rett syndrome.
abstract: 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.
