Rett syndrome
Background
Rett syndrome is the clinical expression of the Rett disorder, a complex, genetic, neurological condition which affects far more girls than boys. Although signs may not be initially obvious, it is present at birth. It usually becomes more evident during the second year. People with Rett syndrome are almost always profoundly and multiply disabled and totally dependent on others for all their needs throughout their lives but severity may vary considerably.
