No Actually there is testing to determine if your child has rett syndrome, although prior to 1999 they were no tests available. Fortunately there have been great strides in genetic testing and with advanced medical research and the discovery of the Mecp2 gene by Huda Zoghbi and her team of lab research assistants, the situation has changed. Currently there is a prenatal test that can be taken to determine if the fetus tht you carry has CDKL5-Related Atypical Rett Syndrome as well as MECP2-Related Disorders. Here is the links to the laboratories that currently provide genetic testing for rett syndrome: http://www.genetests.org/query?testid=251630 http://www.genetests.org/query?testid=21594
What else can I help you with?
Can Treacher Collins syndrome be detected before symptoms appear?
No.
Can hemophilia be detected in the child before birth?
yes hemophilia can be detected before birth
When does Kearns-Sayre syndrome appear?
Symptoms of the disease appear before age 15
Can Klinefelter's syndrome be detected before symptoms show?
Yes, Klinefelter's syndrome can be detected before symptoms appear through genetic testing, such as karyotyping, which identifies the presence of an extra X chromosome in males (47,XXY). Prenatal testing methods like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) can also reveal the condition during pregnancy. Early diagnosis allows for better management and support, even before symptoms present. However, routine screening for Klinefelter's syndrome is not common, and it may often go undiagnosed until later in life.
Can lupus detected before sympotms?
No, because the symptoms are an imporant piece of the diagnostic process.
Can Marfan Syndrome be detected before birth?
Yes, Marfan Syndrome can be detected before birth through prenatal genetic testing such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. These tests can detect whether the fetus has inherited the genetic mutation that causes Marfan Syndrome. It's important to consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare provider for further information and testing options.
Can girls get PMS before their first period?
Yes it's called PRE-Menstrual Symptoms/Syndrome
What percentage of women experience premenstrual syndrome?
Approximately 75% of all menstruating women experience some symptoms that occur before or during menstruation.
What is pre-menstrual syndrome?
Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) is a social construct, it's a collection of symptoms that are attributed to menstruation and around a week before menstruation, symptoms then ease during menstruation. There are over 150 symptoms associated with PMS but there's no evidence that PMS actually exists, again it's regarded as a social construct: negative symptoms associated with menstruation and framed as a 'syndrome'. Symptoms can include mood changes, bloating, cramping, and breast tenderness.
How long before symptoms appear after H1N1 exposure?
The H1N1 incubation period is around 7-10 days.
How is a withdrawal syndrome diagnosed?
A detailed history of the patient's drug or alcohol use taken before detoxification can be helpful in predicting the severity of withdrawal symptoms.
Are psychiatric symptoms associated with Sydenham's chorea?
