Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Rett Syndrome and Control Human BA9 Cortex. Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Rett Syndrome and Control Human BA9 Cortex

Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) that occur sporadically in 1:10,000 female births. RTT is characterized by a period of largely normal development followed by regression in language and motor skills at 6-18 months of age. To investigate alterations in DNA methylation in RTT, we performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing on brodmann area 9 of human cortex from RTT and matched controls.
