The locus DXS255 was studied using the probe M27 beta in ten probands with Rett syndrome and in eight of their families. No evidence of uniparental disomy of the X chromosome was detected, as all informative probands had inherited an allele from each of their parents. Differential methylation of a CCGG site within the DXS255 locus as shown by digestion with MspI/HpaII, revealed moderate skewing of X-inactivation favouring the maternal allele in two of the probands. Random X-inactivation was present in all mothers tested and in two unaffected sisters. Three of four unaffected siblings had inherited the same maternal allele at DXS255.
