Rhetts Syndrome also known as “RTT” is incapacitating neurological disarray identified almost completely in females. Children with Rhetts Syndrome “RTT” emerge to develop normally until 6 to 18 months of age as they enter a period of deterioration, losing speech and motor skills. Most expand recurring mental retardation, breathing problems and seizures. Rhetts Syndrome “RTT” victims extremely disabled and required maximum assistance in their daily life routine and up till now no cure was found regarding “RRT” Rhetts Syndrome.
In 1966 Austria’s Doctor “Dr. Andreas Rett” recognizes this disease, or disorder, but was comparatively unidentified until 1980 when a well know scientific journal published an article in which the symptoms and problems of the syndrome were explained.
Rhetts Syndrome or “RRT” typically is documented in childhood and effect girls mostly, very rare in boys. RRT is mostly misdiagnosed as autism, intellectual palsy or distracted developmental interruption.
Dr Helen Leonard, from Australia studied Rhetts Syndrome at “Telethon Institute for Child Health Research” said, “This information is potentially helpful in predicting the clinical progression, but importantly, gives us another area to explore for potential therapies we know that there is a wide range in the onset and severity of symptoms in patients with Rhetts syndrome but it has been difficult to give families a firm idea of how the disorder would progress”.
Funds was provided by “National Institutes of Health, USA”, “National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia”, “International Rhetts Syndrome Foundation” and “Rett Syndrome Australian Research Fund” for research and development against the Syndrome.
