Guide To The Symptoms Of Rett Syndrome

Rett syndrome is a rare genetic neurological disorder that almost exclusively occurs in girls. It leads to serious impairments that affect almost every part of the child's life. Though Rett syndrome is genetic, it isn't inherited from either parent. Instead, it's caused by a gene mutation. Children with Rett syndrome have trouble communicating and expressing themselves, but they can understand more than they're able to express. Doing a cognitive assessment of these children is a complicated process. There are a number of symptoms associated with Rett syndrome, and it's important to be familiar with all of them from early detection and effective treatment.
