Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a female neurodevelopmental disease with breathing abnormalities. To understand whether breathing defects occur in the early lives of a group of female Mecp2+/− mice, a mouse model of RTT, and what percentage of mice show RTT-like breathing abnormality, breathing activity was measured with plethysmography in conscious mice. Breathing frequency variation in a group of Mecp2+/− females displayed a distribution pattern similar to Mecp2−/Y males, while the rest resembled the wild-type mice. Similar results were obtained using the k-mean clustering statistics analysis. With these two independent methods, about 20% of female Mecp2+/− mice showed RTT-like breathing abnormalities that began as early as 3 weeks of age in the Mecp2+/− mice, did not seem to deteriorate with growth, and were suppressed with 3% CO2. The finding that only a small proportion of Mecp2+/− mice develop RTT-like breathing abnormalities suggests incomplete allele inactivation in the RTT-model Mecp2+/− mice.
