RELATED ASPECTS OF CLINICAL GENETICS AND RETT SYNDROME EVOLUTION

Rett syndrome has yielded many articles over the years since its discovery. This is a production that aims to recover some concepts already brought by other authors, to fix the genetic aspect of the affection, as well as the clinical evolution and associated diseases. Methodology: The screen study is the result of consultations in national and international databases, most notably PubMed and Scielo as a source of academic articles. In the consultations we used the following keywords: Rett Syndrome, Mental Deficit, Multiple Deficit, Epileptic Crisis, and Genetics, we still serve three journals: Genomics & Genetics Weekly, Genetic, Social and General Psychology Monographs and Journal of Medical Genetics of the English equivalent as descriptors: Rett Syndrome, Mental Limitation, General Limitation, Epilepsy and Genetics. In our consultation we found 185 articles and of these, we use 32 to compose our bibliographic reference.  Keywords: Rett syndrome. Mental deficiency. Multiple Deficit. Epileptic
