Syndrome Association I'm Paula, I'm 47, and I have 3 beautiful children, now ages 17, 11, and 9. This picture is several years old, as it's difficult to get a good picture of all 3 of the kids together because my middle child, Kelsey, has Rett Syndrome. The 'short' of RS is that it is a neurologic, developmental disorder that is believed to affect almost exclusively females. Its symptoms usually begin to manifest themselves sometime during the 2nd year of life, and one of the main hallmarks of RS is a 'hand-washing', wringing, clapping, tapping, or hand-mouthing motion. For a much better and more thorough description of RS, check out IRSA's (the International Rett Syndrome Association) web site or the Rett Synrome Research Foundation's website at rsrf.com.

Rett syndrome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Rett's syndrome Contents Introduction Etiology Development and Symptoms Mortality ... edit Introduction Rett's syndrome (Rett syndrome, Rett's disorder) is a progressive neurological disorder , one of the leading disorders of mental retardation in females. The symptoms of this disorder are easily confused with those of autism and cerebral palsy edit Etiology Rett syndrome (symbolized RTT) is an X-linked, dominant disorder, usually caused by a mutation in the gene encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (MECP2). MECP2 is found on chromosome band Xq28, near the long end of the X chromosome. Rett syndrome can also be caused by a mutation to the gene encoding cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5). This disorder affects 1 in every 12,500 female live births. Most males with a pathogenic MECP2 mutation suffer from neonatal encephalopathy and die within a year or so of birth. Males who have two X chromosomes and a Y chromosome (often called Klinefelter's syndrome ), one with a mutated MECP2 gene, follow a similar development to females with Rett syndrome. Males who have somatic mosaicism also have symptoms like females with Rett syndrome.

GeneDis Website for Rett Syndrome Rett Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by loss of acquired skills after a period of normal development in infant girls due to mutations in the MeCP2 gene. The GeneDis web site for Rett Syndrome includes the wild type primary sequences of the MeCP2 gene and protein. Known mutations are incorporated in the gene and in the protein sequences using hyperlinks. Users can compare MeCP2 DNA or protein sequences to the wild type hyperlinked sequences present in GeneDis. The pairwise alignment output retains the hyperlinks, which enable the user to browse through the Rett Syndrome mutation table. The mutation table shows the location of the mutation on the cDNA, genomic DNA and protein sequences, the number of exon or intron, the severity of the disease associated with the mutation and a reference in which the mutation was first described.

Next Welcome to Living With Rett Syndrome This page will always be under construction as unfortunately Rett syndrome is a "work in progress". I am making these pages in the hope that a parent who has just received the diagnosis and those who have lived with it for a while will find some peace in their minds and hearts in the turmoil of this diagnosis for their child. "I put my hand in yours and together we can do what we could never do alone. No longer is there a sense of hopelessness. No longer must we depend upon our own unsteady will power. We are all together now, reaching out for power and strength greater than ours. And as we join together, we find love and understanding beyond our wildest dreams." Helen Keller (source: Internet quotations) According to the International RETT Syndrome Association (IRSA) there are over 3000 reported cases of Rett in the world, with more than 2000 being in the United States. Because we are a "small" group (unlike other Special Needs organizations), it's difficult to get funding and recognition for research and other areas which affect the lives of these girls/women.

Developmental Epigenetics Group Rett Syndrome Rett Syndrome (RTT, OMIM #312750 ) is caused by mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG binding protein MeCP2. Rett Syndrome is found almost exclusively in girls. RTT patients appear normal for the first 6-18 months of life, but then begin to lose the ability to speak or use their hands. This regression continues into autistic behaviour, ataxia, repetitive hand movements, and microcephaly, and often involves breathing abnormalities, seizures, eating problems, and growth retardation. RTT is a relatively common disorder, occurring once every 10,000-15000 live female births. Rett Syndrome Research Found ation Rett Syndrome Association UK International Rett Syndrome Association ...

Some of my favorite things are: music, TV, flirting My Photo Gallery - From 3 Months to 19 Years About Rett Syndrome Rett Syndrome (RS) is a neurological disorder seen almost exclusively in females. The prevalence of RS in females is approximately one in every 10,000-23,000 individuals and is found in all racial and ethnic groups worldwide. It is known that RS can occur in males but is extremely rare. It is named for Dr. Andreas Rett, an Austrian physician who identified the syndrome in 1966, although it remained unknown in the United States until 1983. Symptoms: RS has its clinical onset in most females between 6-18 months of age. Development to that time appears normal. They then enter a period of regression, losing speech and hand skills they had acquired. Most children develop seizures, repetitive hand movements, irregular breathing and motor-control problems.* A slowing of the rate of head growth also becomes apparent.

Home DRAGON SNOMAD Bioinformatics ... Publications Autism and Rett Syndrome Introduction. Autism and Rett Syndrome are devastating, lifelong neurological disorders that are classified as pervasive developmental disorders (sometimes abbreviated PDD). Autism and Rett Syndrome are characterized clinically by severe, pervasive impairment in communication skills and in reciprocal social interaction skills. Stereotyped behavior and interests are typical. In many cases, autism and Rett Syndrome are accompanied by mental retardation as well as seizures. These disorders cause significant hardships for the affected children and adults, as well as their families, schools and communities. Today, the diagnosis of autism and related pervasive developmental disorders such as Asperger's Syndrome is based upon clinical criteria. There are no known biological causes. There are very few proven neurochemical, genetic, neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, structural, metabolic, or other molecular differences between these patients and the normal population.
