Rett syndrome (RTT) is rare, affects predominantly female children. It presents as a pervasive developmental disorder with a remarkable behavioral phenotype. The discovery that mutation in methyl-C-phosphate-G-binding protein 2 causes RTT has focused attention to the importance of epigenetic modifications in neuronal function. We report a case of RTT in a 7-year-old female child and use of behavioral techniques and social skill training to control the behavioral symptoms. |
