RSRF works to fund, promote and accelerate biomedical research for the treatment and cure of Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a debilitating neurological disorder diagnosed almost exclusively in females. Today RSRF is the world's leading private funder of Rett research. In the last four years RSRF has funded 65 projects at 47 of the world's premiere institutions totaling approximately $ 6.5 million. Furthermore, RSRF organizes the only annual scientific meeting devoted to Rett Syndrome. Each June RSRF convenes over 100 researchers and clinicians from around the world for a three day Rett Syndrome symposium.

This devastating neurological disease affects one in 15,000 female children. Just five years ago, Rett Syndrome was tracked to mutations in a gene on the X chromosome, MECP2 . But how this gene, not previously associated with the brain or nervous system, could cause a neurological developmental disorder remained a puzzle.

After 6-18 months of apparently normal development, affected girls develop problems with language, learning, coordination, and other brain functions. Repeated hand wringing or washing motions are characteristic of this condition. Research suggests that Rett syndrome occurs most often in females. Males with mutations in the related gene, MECP2, often die before birth or in infancy. How common is Rett syndrome?

For the week of October 14 thru October 20, 1998 Local mom pushes for awareness of rare Rett syndrome By AMY SPINDLER Express Staff Writer Anne Marie shares a moment with her mother, Heather Gonzolas. (Express photos by Charmaine McCann October is awareness month for Rett syndrome, a rare and terminal disease that almost exclusively affects girls, halting brain development between the ages of 6 to 18 months, according to the International Rett syndrome Association, an organization of parents and professionals who support research about and awareness of the disease. Anne Marie cannot walk or talk and shows other common signs of Retts that include wringing her hands together constantly and grinding her teeth. She is also affected with severe scoliosis, osteoporosis, respiratory problems and epilepsy, all correlated to Retts. "Finding out that Annie had Retts was the scariest thing that’s happened to me in my life," said her mother, Heather Gonzolas, who also describes her daughter as her saving grace and the light of her life. "Annie is like a little book-you can read her face and know exactly what she wants," Gonzolas said. "It’s the same with an infant except we’ve had seven years to learn her."

A recommendation: Hypography is an open community about science and all things related Rett's syndrome Associated persons: Andreas Rett Description: A symptom complex only observed in girls. The child develops normally for 6 to 12 months, and then the disease manifests in the age 6 months to 4 years. It is a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by acquired microcephaly, severe dementia, autism, purposeless hand movements, characteristic hand-wringing stereotypy, and jerky ataxia of the trunk. Hypotonia (loss of muscle tone) is usually the first symptom. Inheritance is probably X-linked dominant with lethality in the hemizygous males. The disorder was originally described by Andreas Rett of Austria in 1966, but was not known worldwide until two decades later following a report by Hagberg et al describing 35 affected girls from Sweden, Portugal, and France. The syndrome affects approximately 1 in every 10,000-15,000 live female births. The gene causing the disorder has now been identified. In the spring of 1965, Andreas Rett observed two young girls sitting on their mothers’ laps in his waiting room. Like mirror images of each other, they were petite and profoundly disabled and were wringing their hands together incessantly. After searching his files, Dr. Rett found six other girls with a similar clinical picture and wrote the first description of the syndrome that now bears his name.

On this page: Medical Term Medical Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Rett syndrome Medical Term Rett syndrome More detail: Rett syndrome is a uniform and striking, progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females. After normal development up to the age of 6 to 18 months, developmental stagnation occurs followed by rapid deterioration of high brain functions. Within 1 to 2 years, this deterioration progresses to loss of speech, severe dementia, behavior reminiscent of autism, stereotypic hand-wringing movements, loss of purposeful use of the hands, jerky ataxia (wobbliness) of the trunk, intermittent hyperventilation, and microcephaly (small head). Thereafter, a period of apparent stability lasts for decades. But additional neurologic abnormalities intervene insidiously These abnormalities include what is called spastic paraparesis (paralysis and spasticity of the legs) and epilepsy (seizures). A striking deceleration of growth has been found across all measurements in most girls with Rett syndrome who end up with short stature and microcephaly The mortality (death) rate among children with Rett syndrome is increased (1.2% per year). A high proportion (26%) of the deaths are sudden and associated with a heart conduction problem, namely an abnormally prolonged QT interval on the electrocardiogram.
