Fig. 1From: MECP2, a gene associated with Rett syndrome in humans, shows conserved coding regions, independent Alu insertions, and a novel transcript across primate evolution MECP2 structure showing exons (E) and introns (In). The figure shows transcripts resulting from alternative splicing with 1,734 and 10,241 nucleotides (nt). Transcripts from different regions of exon 4 are indicated as 4a and 4b. Translation of mature mRNA molecules results in proteins of 498 and 486 amino acids (aa), MECP2_e1 and MECP2_e2, respectivelyBack to article page
