Introduction: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neuro-developmental disorder affecting almost exclusively females and it divided into classical and atypical forms of the disease. RTT-like syndrome was also described and presents an overlapping phenotype of RTT. RTT-like syndrome has been associated with several genes including MECP2 and CDKL5 having common biological pathways and regulatory interactions especially during neural maturation and synaptogenesis.

Mendelian disorders of the epigenetic machinery (MDEMs) are genetic disorders resulting from mutations in components of the epigenetic apparatus. Though individually rare, MDEMs have emerged as a collectively common etiology for intellectual disability (ID) and growth disruption.

In females with X-linked genetic disorders, wild-type and mutant cells coexist within brain tissue because of X-chromosome inactivation, posing challenges for interpreting the effects of X-linked mutant alleles on gene expression. We present a single-nucleus RNA sequencing approach that resolves mosaicism by using single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes expressed in cis with the X-linked mutation to determine which nuclei express the mutant allele even when the mutant gene is not detected. This approach enables gene expression comparisons between mutant and wild-type cells within the same individual, eliminating variability introduced by comparisons to controls with different genetic backgrounds.
