| molecularNote | Exon 3 was replaced with one in which nucleotide substitutions that result in the amino acid substitution of aspartice acid for tryptophan at position 120 (Y120D). This mutation occurs in the methyl-binding domain and replicates a mutation found in Rett syndrome patients. An FRT-flanked neomycin cassette was inserted downstream of the modified exon 3 in the methyl-binding domain. |
