A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic disease: Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a mutation in a gene which occurs almost exclusively in females. The disease manifests itself within a year or so of birth. Children lose the ability to speak, develop stereotypic and unique midline hand movements and develop a clumsy gait. Adults can't get it.
