A Síndrome de Rett é uma doença neurológica provocada por uma mutação genética que atinge, na maioria dos casos, crianças do sexo feminino, pois as crianças do sexo masculino não resistem e acabam por morrer antes da nascença. É causada por mutações num gene localizado no cromossoma X, chamado MECP2. Este gene é muito importante no controlo do funcionamento de outros genes, desde o desenvolvimento embrionário. Codifica uma proteína que controla a expressão de vários genes que são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento dos neurónios.
Pode-se explicar a causa da síndrome de Rett da seguinte forma: nas pacientes afetadas pela síndrome de Rett, a tal proteína não funciona corretamente e por isso todo o desenvolvimento dos neurónios do embrião é comprometido. Caracteriza-se pela estagnação do desenvolvimento neuro-psicomotor após vários meses de desenvolvimento aparentemente normal - em geral, até aos 18 meses de vida.
