The relationship between MECP2 mutation type and health status and service use trajectories over time in a Rett syndrome population

This study aimed to investigate the trajectories over time of health status and health service use in Rett syndrome by mutation...

Measuring use and cost of health sector and related care in a population of girls and young women with Rett syndrome

This study measured use and cost of health sector and related services in Rett syndrome and effects of socio-demographic, clinical severity and genetic factors

Bone mineral content and density in Rett syndrome and their contributing factors

This study used densitometry to investigate the areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in an Australian Rett syndrome cohort...

Longitudinal hand function in Rett syndrome

Loss of hand function is a core feature of Rett syndrome. This article describes longitudinal hand function at 3 time points for 72 subjects participating...

Rett Syndrome: Revised diagnostic criteria and nomenclature

The purpose of this work was to revise and clarify 2002 consensus criteria for the diagnosis of RTT in anticipation of treatment trials.

CDKL5 deficiency disorder: clinical features, diagnosis, and management

CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) was first identified as a cause of human disease in 2004. Although initially considered a variant of Rett syndrome, CDD is now recognised as an independent disorder and classified as a developmental epileptic encephalopathy.

The Rett Syndrome Gross Motor Scale–Dutch Version (RSGMS-NL) Can Reliably Assess Gross Motor Skills in Dutch Individuals with Rett Syndrome

The Rett Syndrome Gross Motor Scale (RSGMS) is an observational measurement, assessing gross motor skills in individuals with Rett syndrome. A Dutch version is lacking. The current study aims to translate and cross-culturally adapt the original RSMGS to Dutch and assess its inter-rater and intra-rater reliability.

Longitudinal Evaluation of the Stability of Hand Function in Rett Syndrome

We investigated the longitudinal stability of hand function in Rett syndrome and to analyze further the relationships between stability of hand function and genotype, age, and walking ability. Study design: Longitudinal video data of functional abilities of individuals with genetically confirmed Rett syndrome were collected by families of individuals registered with the Australian Rett Syndrome Database.

Oral parafunction and bruxism in Rett syndrome and associated factors: An observational study

To explore patterns of parafunction, and bruxism, and its relationships with genotype and snoring in individuals with Rett syndrome.
