      Thanks for the info on MeCP2. Very interesting. I work in a clinical moleucalr diagnostic lab and sequence the MeCP2 gene looking for mutations in patients that are suspected of having Rett syndrome. It obviously has a very interesting role in epigenetics. I think we will be hearing a lot more about MeCP2 in the future.

      I haven’t looked into MeCP2 much myself (yet), but this paper looked interesting.

      Just thought you might be interested that right after I posted the above comment, we got a patient in whose clinical indication was autism, and sure enough she had a huge deletion one copy of her MECP2 gene.

      Thanks for the heads up on the autism link!
