Scoliosis is a common clinical manifestation of Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that almost exclusively affects girls.

Novel findings in relation to genotype

Using information provided by the Rett study, we looked at relationships of early development, genetic characteristics and the development of scoliosis.

Our study investigated the quality of measurements obtained using the Rett Syndrome Gross Motor Scale.

We wanted to compare the frequency of fracture episodes, and factors associated with a fracture, in females with Rett syndrome, compared to general population.

Research

Our findings provide additional insight into the early clinical profile of Rett syndrome.

Therefore, we used video data to examine changes in hand function over time. We also investigated what other factors might influence these changes.

Research

The purpose of this work was to revise and clarify 2002 consensus criteria for the diagnosis of RTT in anticipation of treatment trials.
