Rett Syndrome Ajithakumari G. Associate Professor, Sree Balaji College of Nursing, Chrompet, Chennai, (Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research) Online Published on 27 October, 2023. Abstract Rett syndrome is a rare genetic neurological disorder that occurs almost exclusively in girls, more rarely in boys, and leads to severe impairments, affecting nearly every aspect of the child's life: their ability to speak, walk, eat, and even breathe easily. The hallmark of Rett syndrome is near constant repetitive hand movements. Rett syndrome is not a degenerative disorder with individuals living to middle age or beyond. Rett syndrome occurs worldwide in 1 of every 10,000 female births and is even rarer in boys. Rett syndrome can also cause seizures and intellectual disabilities. Unusual hand movements, such as repetitive rubbing or clapping. Top Keywords Rett syndrome, Genetic disorder, Degenetrative disorder, Seizure, Intellectual disabities. Top | |
