The Australian Rett Syndrome Study is based at The Kids Research Institute Australia located in Subiaco, Western Australia. This study was established in 1993.

Funded by the International Rett Syndrome Foundation, this international online database examines the clinical features and genetic characteristics.

One of the many reasons for setting up the International CDKL5 Disorder Database was to learn more about this condition.

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.

We investigated the occurrence of altered pain sensitivity as well as how these altered reactions to pain were observed during daily life.
