          Rosetta Stone Explains Rett 
          Syndrome - Rett Syndrome (RS), a 
          neurological orphan disease of children that was long relegated to

A Wonderful and Hopeful Story: 
Potential Treatment for Rett - Caroline, now age six, began having 
seizures when she was just two days old. As she grew older, the seizures 
persisted, and by the time she was 5, Caroline had lost all of her hand 
function, with her hands held tightly at her chest. She had ataxia and her 
breathing was abnormal. She had never walked or talked.
