This study explored relationships between speech and language abilities in girls with Rett syndrome and how they may be affected by the type of genetic mutation

We reviewed literature and RettNet to explore firsthand perspectives of gastrointestinal issues in Rett Syndrome, then developed recommendations with experts.

We interviewed 21 families with a daughter with Rett Syndrome about aspects of their daughters' lives that were satisfying or challenging to them.

This study measured changes in bone density over time using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Lean tissue or muscle mass (LTM) was also measured.

Using a large sample size, we investigated the relationships between epilepsy and genotype, and the impact of medications used on seizure management.

We collected information on a monthly basis on the patterns of seizures and medications of 162 girls in the Australian Rett Syndrome study over a calendar year.
