This MinuteCE activity examines the diagnosis and longitudinal management of Rett syndrome across pediatric and adult populations. Faculty experts discuss classic and atypical clinical presentations, differential diagnosis, and the role of genetic testing in supporting accurate diagnosis and earlier recognition. The series also reviews individualized multidisciplinary management strategies, including seizure control, nutritional and respiratory support, rehabilitation therapies, communication approaches, orthopedic surveillance, and behavioral health considerations. Additional discussions address the integration of trofinetide into care plans, transition to adult care, reproductive health, care coordination, and caregiver support across the lifespan.
