Rett Syndrome Today and Tomorrow: What Is Rett Syndrome?

In this podcast episode, experts in Rett syndrome, David N. Lieberman, MD, PhD, and Jeffrey Neul, MD, PhD, provide a comprehensive overview of Rett syndrome (RTT), a rare but severe neurodevelopmental disorder. They begin with a discussion on the clinical characteristics and typical disease progression of RTT before diving into the various genetic markers and how they may, or may not, be used in the diagnosis and prognosis. Finally, the experts ponder the future of RTT diagnoses, touching upon how we might identify RTT and intervene earlier, potential utilization of biomarkers, and the role of measurement-based care.
