Rett syndrome is a rare but serious neurological disorder that affects about 1 in 9,000 girls. Even more rarely, boys may be affected.

For this study, we examined how Rett syndrome characteristics can be affected by X-inactivation for 2 of the common types of mutation - p.R168X and p.T158M.

The Australian Rett Syndrome Study is based at The Kids Research Institute Australia located in Subiaco, Western Australia. This study was established in 1993.
