Rett Syndrome (RTT) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare genetic neurological disorder that predominantly affects girls, leading to severe impairments in virtually every aspect of a child's life. These impairments encompass their ability to speak, walk, eat, and breathe comfortably. Typically, Rett syndrome becomes apparent in children between 6 and 18 months when they start missing developmental milestones or regressing in skills they had previously acquired. The underlying cause of RTT is mutations in the MECP2 gene on the X chromosome. Furthermore, the early-onset seizure variant, known as the Hanefeld variant, is frequently associated with mutations in the X-linked CDKL5 gene (Xp22). In rare cases, a translocation involving the NTNG1 gene (1p13.2-p13.1) has been identified in patients with early seizures and atypical RTT. The congenital variant, also known as the Rolando variant, is generally caused by mutations in the FOXG1 gene (14q11-q13). The management of Rett syndrome primarily involves symptom al...
