Reiter's syndrome is a neurological disorder with complex behaviors. Rett syndrome is a neurological disease that often occurs in girls. It is characterized by autism-like behavior, loss of motor control, irregular breathing, and skeletal problems. Girls with Rett Syndrome usually do not show significant symptoms until 18 months.
Rett's syndrome is a sex chromosomal dominant hereditary neurological disease with an incidence rate of about 1 / 10,000 to 1 / 23,000, which is more common in girls. According to medical reports, the condition is caused by a defect in the MECP2 gene on the X chromosome (Xq28).

Symptoms of the degenerative phase include: First, loss of meaningful language expressions and hand movement skills; repeated hand movements such as washing hands, twisting hands, clapping, and exaggerated gestures. 2. Normal at birth, stunted from 6 to 18 months. Third, convulsions or epilepsy. four,
In terms of diagnosis, in addition to clinical symptoms, 80 to 90% of children can be found to have defects in MECP2 through DNA blood tests, and the remaining genetic defects are still being studied. Although this condition is a chromosomal dominant genetic disease, the vast majority of patients are caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene. The recurrence rate in the same family is very low. Genetic defects can be used to find defective genes and provide future inheritance Consultation.
In terms of treatment, although there is no effective treatment for this condition, only symptomatic treatment, such as rehabilitation treatment, but if the support of teachers and parents can be supported, children will have better learning environment and tendencies.
