We searched the literature with Mastermind Genomic Intelligence Platform (https://www.genomenon.com/mastermind) for NM_001110792.1(MECP2):c.535C>T (p.Arg179Trp) variant. We did not include in this table cases where the MECP2 p.Arg167Trp was detected alongside another variant in the MECP2 gene or another gene.
