I want to know what's the karyotype of rett syndrome?

Genetics: Rett syndrome is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that arises from mutations in the x-linked mecp2 gene. It is almost exclusively seen in girls due to the predominant occurrence of the mutations on the paternal x-chromosome. For more info, consult with a geneticist.
