Figure

  • Fig. 1 Molecular investigations of a patient with intellectual disabilities, intractable epilepsy, and autistic features. (A) Low-depth whole-genome sequencing revealed a duplication of 525 kb at Xq28. The duplicated region (chrX:153,060,001-153,585,001, shown in red) contains MECP2 and several other genes. (B-C) multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification analysis of MECP2 in the patient (B) and mother (C). The red squares represent duplications of MECP2 exons in each sample.
