    Extractions: KIM JOHNSON Introduction Kim Johnson has Rett Syndrome , a condition unrecognised in the 1960s when she was born. Although she developed normally for nearly two years, the deterioration associated with Rett Syndrome has left her severely dyspraxic and without speech. Kim lives in Melbourne, and completed the final year of secondary school at the end of 1997, ten years after DEAL Communication Centre showed her how to communicate by typing with a head-pointer. From that time her family and friends gradually came to know a totally new Kim, who has led them all into uncharted waters. Hi! I'm Kim's mother, Jill. Kim would like me to tell you something about herself, as her communication is very slow and tires her rapidly. She also wants to tell you quite a bit herself, though, and her words will be found typed in UPPER CASE BOLD . Often you'll be able to tell by the style who is doing the talking; Kim's expression is very concise, as she has a lot of time to think but not much energy to type. Rosie Crossley has described it in her latest book " Speechless " as ...."as if she were writing a telegram and being charged by the word"!

    Extractions: News Magazine  Subscriptions Editorial Staff ... News > Coping With Rett Syndrome A debilitating disorder that strikes only girls, Rett Syndrome challenges physicians, patients, and families. One symptom of Rett Syndrome is profound growth failure. Pediatrician and nutritionist Kathleen J. Motil with the USDA- ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center (CNRC) in Houston, Texas, is finding innovative ways to promote adequate nutrition, improve health, and enhance growth for some of these patients. Rett Syndrome occurs in 1 out of 23,000 live births. The onset is baffling: A healthy, active infant gradually stops developing normally. Typically, she regresses, losing her speech and walking skills, as well as the ability to play with toys. Repetitive hand-wringing and hand-washing movements are common, as are breathing abnormalities. Growth failure and muscle wasting may occur as early as 1 year of age. Motil and others have done studies suggesting this poor growth and wasting may be linked in part to the girls' need for special nutritional care. Andreas Rett, the medical doctor who first described this neurodevelopmental disease in 1966, noted the symptoms of wasting and slowed growth. Growth retardation is one of the factors supporting the diagnosis of Rett Syndrome. Other researchers, including Motil's colleagues, pediatric neurologist Daniel G. Glaze and nurse practitioner Rebecca J. Schultz, have reported in medical journals a deceleration in the rate of gain in head circumference, height, and weight.

    Extractions: Rett Syndrome (RS) is a neurological disorder seen almost exclusively in females. The prevalence of RS in females is approximately one in every 10,000-23,000 individuals and is found in all racial and ethnic groups worldwide. It is known that RS can occur in males but is extremely rare. It is named for Dr. Andreas Rett, an Austrian physician who identified the syndrome in 1966, although it remained unknown in the United States until 1983. Symptoms: RS has its clinical onset in most females between 6-18 months of age. Development to that time appears normal. They then enter a period of regression, losing speech and hand skills they had acquired. Most children develop seizures, repetitive hand movements, irregular breathing and motor-control problems.* A slowing of the rate of head growth also becomes apparent. Most researchers now agree that RS is a developmental disorder rather than a progressive, degenerative disorder as once thought. Survival into adulthood is now expected barring other illnesses or serious physical complications. Girls and women with RS can be expected to demonstrate a full range of emotions and enjoy satisfying social, recreational, and educational experiences at home and in the community.

GeneDis Website for Rett Syndrome Rett Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by loss of acquired skills after a period of normal development in infant girls due to mutations in the MeCP2 gene. The GeneDis web site for Rett Syndrome includes the wild type primary sequences of the MeCP2 gene and protein. Known mutations are incorporated in the gene and in the protein sequences using hyperlinks. Users can compare MeCP2 DNA or protein sequences to the wild type hyperlinked sequences present in GeneDis. The pairwise alignment output retains the hyperlinks, which enable the user to browse through the Rett Syndrome mutation table. The mutation table shows the location of the mutation on the cDNA, genomic DNA and protein sequences, the number of exon or intron, the severity of the disease associated with the mutation and a reference in which the mutation was first described.

    Extractions: Rett Syndrome is a complex neurological disorder. It is genetic in origin and predominantly affects girls. Although signs may not be initially obvious, the condition is present at birth and becomes more evident during the second year, following an irreversible course. People with Rett syndrome are profoundly and multiply disabled and totally dependent on others for their needs throughout their lives. Typical signs include: initial normal development followed by stagnation after about 1 year and then regression with loss of early speech and hand movement skills, loss of walking or crawling, development of repetitive hand movements (hand-wringing), a stiff or clumsy gait, breathing problems, EEG (brainwave) abnormalities, and epilepsy (affects over 50%). The gene normally shuts off production of certain proteins in the brain. When faulty, overproduction of the proteins occurs, leading to damage to the nervous system.

    Extractions: "Finding that gene is the hardest thing I've ever worked on," says HHMI investigator Huda Zoghbi. A 14-year search for the cause of a rare genetic disease that strikes young girls has uncovered the first example of a human disease that is linked to a defective gene silencing mechanism. Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder seen in young girls that causes a sudden and permanent decline in mental capabilities. In 1985, HHMI investigator Huda Zoghbi , who was then a neurology fellow, published a clinical research report on Rett syndrome. Her initial encounter with the disorder had a lasting impact on her career. Shortly after seeing her first RTT patients, Zoghbi decided to change her career plans, switching from clinical medicine to a research position. Shortly after switching to research, she started the long, tedious search for the genetic causes of RTT. "Finding that gene is the hardest thing I've ever worked on," Zoghbi said in an interview. "It's the best case for the rewards of perseverance that I can think of."
