OVERVIEW
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe and progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by a variety of neurologic and behavioral features. Although RTT is a rare disorder, it is the second most common cause of severe intellectual disability among females and early diagnosis is critical for patients so they may receive appropriate interventions. In this live, interactive symposium, expert faculty will discuss the latest evidence and data regarding the role of genetics in the diagnosis and management of patients with RTT. Real-world patient cases will help learners contextualize genetic testing results and develop treatment plans to apply in their practices.
GOAL STATEMENT
The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to recognize and manage patients with Rett syndrome.
