Abstract
Rett syndrome is a disorder in children’s neurological development characterized by an initial normal evolution followed by the loss of voluntary use and characteristic movements of the hands, a delayed growth of the brain and head, difficulty walking, seizures and mental retardation. The syndrome affects almost exclusively girls and was identified by Dr. Andreas Rett in 1966.
