Abstract

Rett syndrome is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by a mutation in the MESP2 gene. To make a diagnosis, the main and additional criteria of the disease are used, as well as molecular genetic methods confirming the mutation. This article presents a clinical case of Rett syndrome, describes the main approaches to therapy and features of patient curation.
