Rett Syndrome and Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Diagnosis and Assessment
This special issue belongs to the section "Pathology and Molecular Diagnostics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects girls almost exclusively. Symptoms include impairments in language and coordination and repetitive movements. Complications may include seizures, scoliosis, and sleeping problems. Other neurodevelopmental disorders, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, developmental coordination disorder, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and so on will also seriously affect human normal life and learning. This Special Issue will focus on the latest advances in the diagnosis and assessment of patients with neurodevelopmental disorders. We welcome researchers to submit their original research, comprehensive reviews, and other article types.
Prof. Dr. Meir Lotan
