Welcome to the InterRett Output Database

This is a searchable database which allows you to examine the clinical features of Rett syndrome. It is based on the information provided in the InterRett family questionnaires from families around the world. It also includes family questionnaire data from families registered with the Australian Rett Syndrome Study. Future stages of the database will allow complex searching and searches to be limited to certain criteria.

InterRett cases were included if they fulfilled at least one of the following:
  • The diagnosis of Rett syndrome was considered by the child's doctor to be "Definite", OR
  • A pathogenic mutation was found in the mutation testing of the MECP2 gene

    Australian cases were included if they were verified according the criteria outlined in Colvin L et al (2003)
    Archives of Disease in Childhood 88(1):33-48

    As more families around the world submit their data to InterRett, our numbers will grow and our results will be truly representative of the population of Rett syndrome.

    We are still in the developing stages of the InterRett Output Database. This database will be updated on a regular basis as more data is received. If you have any feedback, comments or suggestions on our searchable database, or you would like to participate in InterRett and include your data, please contact the InterRett team
