Rett Syndrome Awareness Month posting for the day: IS RETT SYNDROM INHERITED? Although Rett syndrome is a genetic disorder, less than 1 percent of recorded cases are inherited or passed from one generation to the next. Most cases are spontaneous, which means the mutation occurs randomly. However, in some families of individuals affected by Rett syndrome, there are other female family members who have a mutation of their MECP2 gene but do not show clinical symptoms. These females are known as “asymptomatic female carriers.” Find more information about Rett at: IRSF - International Rett Syndrome Foundation
