MECP2 mutation in male patients with non-specific X-linked mental retardation.

abstract：:During mRNA decoding at the ribosome, deviations from stringent codon identity, or "mistranslation," are generally deleterious and infrequent. Observations of organisms that decode some codons ambiguously, and the discovery of a compensatory increase in mistranslation frequency to combat environmental stress have chan...
