More about Rett Syndrom from Wikipedia:
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a genetic brain disorder which typically becomes apparent after 6 to 18 months of age in females.[2] Symptoms include problems with language, coordination, and repetitive movements.[2] Often there is slower growth, problems walking, and a smaller head size.[2][3] Complications can include seizures, scoliosis, and sleeping problems.[2] Those affected, however, may be affected to different degrees.[3]
Rett syndrome is due to a genetic mutation of the MECP2 gene.[2] This gene occurs on the X chromosome.[3] Typically it develops as a new mutation, with less than one percent of cases being inherited from a person’s parents.[2][3] It occurs almost exclusively in girls.[2] Boys who have a similar mutation typically die shortly after birth.[3] Diagnosis is based on symptoms and can be confirmed with genetic testing.[3]
There is no known cure for Rett syndrome.[3] Treatment is directed at improving symptoms.[3] Anticonvulsants may be used to help with seizures.[3] Special education, physiotherapy, and braces may also be useful.[3] Many people with the condition live into middle age.[3]
The condition affects about 1 in 8,500 females.[2] Andreas Rett, a pediatrician in Vienna, first described the condition in 1966.[3][5] As his writings were in German, they did not become widely known in the English-speaking world.[6] Bengt Hagberg, a Swedish pediatrician, published an English article in 1983 and named the condition after Rett.[6] In 1999, Lebanese-American physician Huda Zoghbi discovered the mutation that causes the conditio
