(mean fold change: 2.7) in comparison to a group of control individuals; the expression of the CDKL5 gene was similar to that of controls (mean fold change: 0.95). We are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms that lead to this de-regulation of the expression of the MECP2 gene in the absence of exonic structural changes. We propose this de-regulation of expression may underlie disease in other RTT-like patients who test negative for MECP2 mutations.
