Rett syndrome
Rett syndrome is an X-linked dominant disorder mainly caused by a mutation in the MECP2gene.

Rett syndrome is a most unusual disease because ONLY GIRLS have it. It is an X-linked dominant disorder that is lethal in males. Females who receive the Rett syndrome gene (symbolized RTT) have Rett syndrome.

Rett syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X chromosome. Girls have two X chromosomes in each cell of their bodies. Since each cell needs only one working copy of the gene, each cell automatically inactivates one of its two X chromosomes.

Rett syndrome is a developmental nervous system disorder. It primarily affects girls. It is uncommon, but not rare. It occurs in one out of every 10,000-23,000 female births.
