In 2009, our daughter Kate was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called Rett syndrome. The main characteristic of Rett syndrome is the inability to execute motor functions, known as apraxia. In girls with Rett syndrome, apraxia affects multiple motor systems, making it difficult for those with the disorder to walk, talk, use their hands or feed themselves.
Rett syndrome is neurologically unique. It is the only disorder on the autism spectrum with a known cause and the syndrome was successfully reversed in mice in 2007, opening a window of hope for families of girls affected by the disorder. The research is extremely promising.
If you would like to learn more about Kate and Rett syndrome, please explore this website and its links to other Rett syndrome sites. The Kate Foundation deeply appreciates your contributions to this important research in the name of Baby Khachane, made possible by the thoughtfulness of Christine and Anil.
We eagerly await their exciting new arrival! Thank you again!
Sincerely,
The Canavan Family
