Rett's Syndrome: Prevalence and Impact on Progressive Severe Mental Retardation in Girls
Abstract
ABSTRACT. The prevalence of Rett's syndrome was studied in a part of southwestern Sweden comprising five counties and the city of Gothenburg. In a population of 315469 children and adolescents, 6‐17 years of age, 10 cases were detected, all girls. The corresponding prevalence was 0.65/10000 girls, i.e. about twice that of phenylketonuria (PKU) in the same area. As progressive brain disorders/metabolic diseases together constitute 5‐6 % (1.5‐2.0/10000 children) of the aetiologies among severely mentally retarded persons of this age group in central Sweden, it can be concluded that within this group Rett's syndrome should be considered as an aetiological factor to think of in females. This syndrome might well be responsible for one‐fourth to one‐third of such cases among girls.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
