Rett syndrome is a developmental and neurological disease characterized by defective X and is caused by mutations in the gene MECP2 coded chromosomes. It is a central involvement diesase that starts in the early developmental years, together along with EEG abnormalities, seizures, mental retardation. Orthopedic, respiratory and cardiac problems can also be seen.
