Rett syndrome is a complex neurological disorder. It affects mainly girls . Although present at birth, it becomes more evident during the second year. It could occur in any family at any time. Something goes wrong with the genetic makeup of the cells which become the baby. Whilst there is variability in the severity of the disorder, most people with Rett syndrome are profoundly and multiply disabled and highly dependent on others for all their needs throughout life. We are a national charity . We offer information, advice, practical help, friendship and support to people with Rett syndrome, their families and carers We rely almost entirely on donations and grants for our income R egistered charity no: 327309

Rett Syndrome Written by Stephen M. Edelson, Ph.D. Center for the Study of Autism, Salem, Oregon Rett Syndrome was first recognized by Andreas Rett in 1966 and is a neurological disorder affecting primarily females. Autopsies on the brains of these individuals indicate a pathology different than autism; however, children afflicted with Rett Syndrome often exhibit autistic-like behaviors, such as repetitive hand movements, prolonged toe walking, body rocking, and sleep problems. The prevalence of Rett Syndrome is similar to the prevalence of autism; that is, estimates are between 1 in 10,000 births and 1 in 15,000 births. Typical characteristics: Normal development until 1/2 to 1 1/2 years Shakiness of the torso, and possibly the limbs Unsteady, stiff-legged gait Breathing difficulties (hyperventilation, apnea, air swallowing) Seizures (approximately 80% have epilepsy) Teeth grinding and difficulty chewing Retarded growth and small head Functioning level is usually between severely and profoundly mentally retarded Hypoactivity In most cases, there is a regression in cognition, behavior, social, and motor skills throughout their lifetime.

Rett syndrome is a childhood neurodevelopmental disorder that affects females almost exclusively. Loss of muscle tone is usually the first symptom. Other early symptoms may include problems crawling or walking and diminished eye contact. As the syndrome progresses, a child will lose purposeful use of her hands and the ability to speak. Compulsive hand movements such as wringing and washing follow the loss of functional use of the hands. The inability to perform motor functions is perhaps the most severely disabling feature of Rett syndrome, interfering with every body movement, including eye gaze and speech. Is there any treatment?

Noticias en espa±ol Helping Girls with Rett Syndrome Improve Growth By Jill Lee February 23, 1999 A long-running energy deficit may play a role in the hampered nutrition and growth caused by Rett Syndrome, according to studies by a pediatrician with the in Houston, Texas. Rett Syndrome, a debilitating disorder that strikes only girls, causes mental retardation and growth failure. There is no cure. The CNRC is a cooperative research facility run jointly by the USDA Agricultural Research Service and Baylor College of Medicine . The Rett studies were done by CNRC pediatric gastroenterologist Kathleen J. Motil, M.D, Ph.D.,and pediatric neurologist Daniel Glaze , M.D., of The Rett Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Motil, Glaze and colleagues compared the energy balancecalories consumed minus calories usedof healthy girls to those of children with Rett. The girls with Rett Syndrome had a positive energy balance, but it was lower than average for girls their age. It's possible this subtle, long-running energy deficit plays a role in slowing growth. Motil and her colleagues have been testing new therapies to help girls with Rett Syndrome. She has had success with a gastrostomy button. This surgically implanted device allows nutrients to be delivered to the body while the girls sleep. One patient, aged seven, increased her weight from 31 pounds to 48 in a year, allowing her to sit up for the first time.

Tips document.write(''); About Rett Syndrome Rett syndrome is a neurological disorder occurring primarily in girls, in which individuals exhibit reduced muscle tone, autistic-like behavior, stereotyped hand movements consisting mainly of wringing and waving, loss of purposeful use of the hands, diminished ability to express feelings, avoidance of eye contact, a lag in brain and head growth, gait abnormalities and seizures. Hypotonia (loss of muscle tone) is usually the first symptom. The syndrome was first recognized in 1966 by Dr. Andreas Rett, however it was not until a paper was published by Dr. Bengt Hagberg in 1983 that the disorder was made widely known in medical circles. The syndrome affects approximately 1 in every 10,000-15,000 live female births, with symptoms usually appearing in early childhood. Diagnostic Criteria: (Required for the recognition of Rett Syndrome) A period of normal development until between 6 - 18 months Normal head circumference at birth followed by a slowing of the rate of head growth with age (starting between 6 months and 4 years) Severely impaired expressive and receptive language Intellectual development appears to be severely delayed, but true intelligence is difficult to measure
