Twenty-five families of girls who underwent a spinal fusion between 2006-2012 were interviewed to explore the course of their daughter's recovery.
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 severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder associated with multiple neurologic impairments. Previous studies have shown challenges to the quality of life of individuals with RTT and their caregivers. However, instruments applied to quantify disease burden have not adequately captured the impact of these impairments on affected individuals and their families. Consequently, an international collaboration of stakeholders aimed at evaluating Burden of Illness in RTT was organized.
