Thursday Trivia!

Hello, everyone! This week we are doing a trivia game about Rett Syndrome!

According to Rettsyndrome.org, "Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder which is seen almost exclusively in females and more rarely in males. It is estimated to occur in 1 in 10,000 female births across all racial and ethnic groups. It is caused by an abnormality in the MECP2 gene, which is found on the X chromosome. Children with Rett syndrome experience regression or loss of previously acquired skills during infancy, often noticed at 6 to 18 months in age. They often lose their ability to walk and communicate and may experience breathing difficulties, cardiac issues, swallowing and digestion abnormalities, scoliosis and seizures. There is no approved treatment yet, though several potential treatments are in clinical trials."
