Advancing Recognition and Guideline-Recommended Diagnosis of Rett Syndrome (RTT)
Advancing Recognition and Guideline-Recommended Diagnosis of Rett Syndrome (RTT) is organized by Prime Education, LLC.
Release Date: May 31, 2023
Expiration Date: May 30, 2024
Overview:
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease, and despite being a rare disorder, is responsible for up to 10% of severe intellectual disabilities of genetic origin in females.
Recent research and treatment advances are ushering in a new era of RTT management. However, due to lack of awareness and the non-specific symptoms of RTT that overlap with other neurodevelopmental disorders, one of the first hurdles in optimal RTT care is at the point of diagnosis.
Tune in for an in-depth exploration of RTT pathophysiology, key clinical indicators, and guideline-recommended diagnostic practices.
With expert insights and a practical case study, this activity provides essential information and resources to support clinicians in recognizing and diagnosing RTT with confidence.
Following the activity, don't forget to download the accompanying evidence slides and RTT point-of-care infographic!
Agenda:
• Overview of RTT: Epidemiology, Etiology, and Pathophysiology
• Recognizing RTT: Stages of Progression and Associated Complications
• Guideline-Recommended Diagnosis of RTT
Learning Objectives:
• Review the underlying pathophysiology of Rett syndrome (RTT), including multisystem involvement and progressive neurological/neurometabolic complications associated with RTT
• Identify the clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of RTT and apply guideline recommended diagnostic assessment to promote timely differential diagnosis.
