Orthopedic Conditions and Interplay with Functional Abilities and MECP2 Variant Subtype in Rett Syndrome Patients
Journal of autism and developmental disorders(2024)
摘要
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare multi-systemic disorder primarily linked to mutations in MECP2 gene. This study aims to describe the prevalence of orthopedic conditions in RTT patients, and examine their intricate interplay with functional capabilities, and MECP2 variant subtypes. Conducted as a cross-sectional retrospective observational study, the research encompassed 55 patients meeting clinical RTT criteria and holding MECP2 mutations. A review of clinical records was performed to gather demographic data, mutation subtypes, orthopedic conditions, management strategies, and assessments of function. Mean age of the participants was 10.22 ± 4.64 years (range, 2.9–19.41). Prevalence rates of orthopedic conditions were as follows: kyphoscoliosis 63.6
