In this activity, an expert in Rett syndrome discusses the diagnosis and management of this rare disease, as well as the latest data on emerging treatment options. A 3D animation offers an overview of MECP2 mutation, hypothesized to be a major contributor to the CNS manifestations of Rett syndrome. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply diagnostic criteria to provide a timely diagnosis of Rett syndrome in infants demonstrating subtle signs and symptoms; Implement consensus recommendations on the age-specific management of patients with Rett syndrome; and Evaluate the evidence surrounding the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of emerging pharmacologic treatment options to consider implementing these novel therapies when they become available.
