Using information provided by the Rett study, we looked at relationships of early development, genetic characteristics and the development of scoliosis.
Using a large sample size, we investigated the relationships between epilepsy and genotype, and the impact of medications used on seizure management.
Many girls and women with Rett syndrome experience seizures. We wanted to know if there were any factors that influenced the age when seizures first developed.
We collected information on a monthly basis on the patterns of seizures and medications of 162 girls in the Australian Rett Syndrome study over a calendar year.
A research collaboration between Australia and Israel has identified a genetic variation that influences the severity of symptoms in Rett syndrome.
New guidelines a model for better management of rare conditions
Girls and young women with Rett syndrome are nearly four times more likely to suffer a fracture.
A new study has found that the genetic flaw responsible for Rett syndrome can strike males, even where there isn't a family history of the rare brain disorder.
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a complex neurodevelopmental X-linked disorder associated with severe functional impairments and multiple comorbidities. There is wide variation in the clinical presentation, and because of its unique characteristics, several evaluation tools of clinical severity, behavior, and functional motor abilities have been proposed specifically for it.
The Sibling Project focuses on children, adolescents and emerging adults who have a sibling with a disability, investigating their mental health, relationships and quality of life.
