While individual diseases are rare, as a group, rare diseases are common. Recent estimates suggest that between 3% and 6% of the world’s population are affected by rare disease.
One of the many reasons for setting up the International CDKL5 Disorder Database was to learn more about this condition.
This study used information from international Rett syndrome database to investigate the relationship between clinical characteristics and different mutations.
Using information from the Australian Rett Syndrome database, we coded symptoms according to severity scales and grouped by type and location of mutation.
Therefore, we wanted to compare the features of girls and women with a C-terminal deletion with those with other MECP2 mutations.
