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.

There have been a few reported cases in males however males do not live past birth. Many girls have been misdiagnosed because Rett Syndrome is closely related to other disorders, such as autism, ataxic cerebral palsy, atypical Angelman's syndrome, mitochondria disease, spinocerebellar among others. The reason that Rett syndrome is easily misdiagnosed, is because there is such a wide range in functioning among girls with Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome is diagnosed by the following: -Normal development until 6-18 months -Normal head circumference at birth followed by slowing of head growth -Loss of verbal language -Purposeful hand use is replaced by stereotypical hand movements such as hand clapping, constant hand wringing, or other midline hand repetitive hand movement

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Rett syndrome is a progressive neurological disorder in which individuals exhibit reduced muscle tone, autistic-like behavior, 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 affects approximately 1 in every 10,000-15,000 live female births, with symptoms usually appearing in early childhood between ages 6 and 18 months. The cause of Rett syndrome is unknown. There is no cure for Rett syndrome; however, there are several treatments options. These include treatments for the orthopedic and learning disabilities and seizures that may occur in individuals with Rett syndrome. Some children may require special nutritional programs to maintain adequate weight. In spite of the severe impairments that characterize this disorder, the majority of individuals with Rett can be expected to reach adulthood, surviving at least into their 40s. However, the risk of death is increased. Sudden, unexplained death possibly from brainstem dysfunction with respiratory arrest often occurs.

The symptoms of this disorder are easily confused with those of autism and cerebral palsy edit 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

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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.

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.
