Duplication within two regions distal to MECP2: clinical similarity with MECP2 duplication syndrome
Background X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) duplication syndrome is prevalent in approximately 1% of X-linked intellectual disabilities. Accumulating evidence has suggested that MECP2 is the causative gene of MECP2 duplication syndrome.

Mental retardation (MR) occurs in 2-3% of the general population. Prevalence of milder MR is seven to ten times more than severe MR. Cause of severe MR can be determined in 60-70% of cases, as compared to mild MR where 35-55% remain idiopathic. The diagnostic process is aided considerably if the timing of a developmental insult can be determined ...

Esterification of fatty acids at room temperature by chloroform-methanolic HCl–cupric acetate
A new procedure for the preparation of methyl esters from free fatty acids under mild conditions was investigated. Free fatty acids are dissolved in a mixture of chloroform–methanolic HCl–cupric acetate and kept at room temperature for 30 min for ...

Human urinary sulfatides in patients with sulfatidosis (metachromatic leukodystrophy)
The excretion of sulfatides in human urine was studied. 24-hr urine collections were filtered. Urinary glycolipids were extracted from the filter paper and fractionated on diethylaminoethyl cellulose and silicic acid columns, and by thin-layer ...
