Abstract: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene that mainly affects females and few males. The prevalence of RS is estimated around 1/15,000 of newborn females. The progressive appearance of the signs and symptoms of RTT has been classified in four stages. The evolution of the clinical symptomatology and severity is individual depending on the age of onset and type of mutation. Anxiety-like behavior is frequent at all ages and is a significant parental concern in RTT. Anxiety leads to more irritability, stereotypes, repetitive rocking and great discomfort for the RTT patients.
