Rett syndrome caused by efexor neonatal use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This syndrome is caused by a gene mutation, and as such will be present at conception. The exposure of a developing fetus after the fact will not change this mutation.This sporadic syndrome occurs without any exposure to ssri meds or any other defined agent prior to pregnancy or during pregnancy.
