Glossary definitions Reviewed April 2006 What is Rett syndrome? Rett syndrome is a disorder of brain development that occurs almost exclusively in girls. After 6 to 18 months of apparently normal development, girls with the classic form of Rett syndrome develop severe problems with language and communication, learning, coordination, and other brain functions. Early in childhood, affected girls lose purposeful use of their hands and begin making repeated hand wringing, washing, or clapping motions. They tend to grow more slowly than other children and have a small head size (microcephaly). Other signs and symptoms can include breathing abnormalities, seizures, an abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis), and sleep disturbances. Researchers have described several variants of Rett syndrome with overlapping signs and symptoms. The atypical forms of this disorder range from a mild type, in which speech is preserved, to a very severe type that has no period of normal development. A form of Rett syndrome called the early-onset seizure variant has most of the characteristic features of classic Rett syndrome, but also causes seizures that begin in infancy.

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."

Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Health Topics ESPAÑOL Rett syndrome Rett syndrome is a disorder of the nervous system that leads to developmental reversals, especially in the areas of expressive language and hand use. Causes Rett syndrome occurs almost exclusively in girls and may be misdiagnosed as autism or cerebral palsy. Studies have linked many Rett syndrome cases to a defect in the methl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) gene. This gene is on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so even when one has this significant defect, the other X chromosome is normal enough for the child to survive. Males born with this defective gene do not have a second X chromosome to make up for the problem. Therefore, the defect usually results in miscarriage stillbirth , or very early death. The condition affects about 1 out of 10,000 children. Groups of the disease have appeared within families and certain geographic regions, including Norway, Sweden, and northern Italy. Symptoms An infant with Rett syndrome usually has normal development for the first 6 - 18 months. Symptoms range from mild to severe.

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.

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
