A clinically significant history of fracture in combination with low bone densitometry findings is necessary for a diagnosis of osteoporosis in Rett Syndrome
Rett syndrome is a genetically caused neurodevelopmental disorder associated with functional deficits and comorbidities. This study investigated relationships between genotype, functional abilities and comorbidities and quality of life in Rett syndrome.
Longevity of individuals with neurodevelopmental diseases as Rett syndrome (RTT) has increased and many reach adulthood and old age. There is therefore a need to increase knowledge about the course of RTT in adults in order to improve medical care management and quality of life.
One of the many reasons for setting up the International CDKL5 Disorder Database was to learn more about this condition.
Our research covers a broad range of areas from the influence of mutation type on health outcomes to factors impacting on the lives of familes.
We also wanted to find out whether any particular behaviours were associated with any specific mutation types.
Regression, including the loss of previously learned skills, such as hand function and communication skills, is one of the most suggestive features of Rett synd
This study used information from international Rett syndrome database to investigate the relationship between clinical characteristics and different mutations.
Using information from the Australian Rett Syndrome database, we coded symptoms according to severity scales and grouped by type and location of mutation.
Therefore, we wanted to compare the features of girls and women with a C-terminal deletion with those with other MECP2 mutations.
