Rett syndrome: organizing patient care taking into account the molecular basis and characteristics of the condition

Abstract

Rett syndrome (RS) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects girls and is associated with mutations in the MECP2 gene. This condition requires specialized care, including the prevention and management of complications related to respiratory function, epilepsy, nutritional issues, and the musculoskeletal system. Nurses play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for such patients and providing support to their families.
