Life Expectancy
The average lifespan of someone afflicted with Rett syndrome is 50 years, although sudden deaths may occur.
Treatment
After an experiment using mice was conducted, scientists concluded that there are potential therapies for Rett syndrome, such as insulin-like growth factor, disabling GABAergic neuron function, and stem cell transplantation. There is no cure for Rett syndrome.
