Rett syndrome (RTT), for a long time included among the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), is a nosologically distinct, genetically determined neurological entity associated in up to 95% of cases to de novo loss-of-function mutations in the X-chromosome-linked gene encoding the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) [1]. Here, MECP2 is linked to atypical Rett syndrome.
