How is the Rett diagnosis made?
The first step should be for your child’s doctor to look carefully at her early growth and development and evaluate her medical history and physical and neurological status. In making the diagnosis, specialists rely on a RS Diagnostic Criteria Worksheet, which has been developed by the world’s foremost authorities in Rett syndrome. After the clinical diagnosis is made or suspected, the next step is to get the MECP2 blood test.
