Abstract

Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by MECP2 gene mutations inherited in a sporadic or x linked dominant fashion. It almost exclusively affects girls. Genetic testing can help in preventing recurrence by offering prenatal diagnosis in affected families. We present the case of a patient who had such a mutation and discuss about her pregnancy outcomes.
