The Rett Syndrome research field enjoys advantages not available to many neurological disorders:
- a known genetic cause
- excellent animal models
- links to a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders
- an elite group of committed researchers
- spectacular science which recently culminated with the prospect of reversibility.
The Rett Syndrome Research Trust also has unique advantages:
- leadership that is largely responsible for the major advances in Rett research over the past decade
- a comprehensive strategic research plan representing the first foray into drug discovery for Rett Syndrome
- designed to be extremely agile, responsive and aggressive.
- fiscally lean and efficient
