Rett syndrome is a rare progressive neurodevelopmental disorder primarily affecting women. Males are only occasionally affected. Infants with Rett syndrome typically develop normally for the first 7 to 18 months of life. The Rett syndrome prevalence in the United States is estimated to be 1 in 10K girls by the age of 12.
