Our study design was intended to take advantage of the mosaic X chromosome inactivation in cell strains of Rett syndrome females.
A total of 252,700 comparisons (four Rett females × 63,175 interrogations on five GeneChips ®) revealed 6,745 increased (or marginally increased) genes/ESTs and 6,966 decreased (or marginally decreased) genes/ESTs.
Much to our surprise, expression levels of 5 genes in 11 additional MeCP2-deficient and 11 additional MeCP2-positive clones from two Rett individuals, one with a missense and one with a truncating mutation, showed tremendous variation.
Clonal cell lines with the mutant MECP2 allele on the active X chromosome were derived from lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from four females with clinically diagnosed Rett syndrome and known mutations (T158M, 803delG, R168X) [ 10 ] and 1159del28 (unpublished) using the technique described above.
Random X inactivation patterns are characteristic for Rett syndrome that is caused by heterozygosity for mutations in the X-linked locus MECP2.
