title: Rett females: patterns of characteristic side-asymmetric neuroimpairments at long-term follow-up.
abstract: From a follow-up series of 24 classical Rett syndrome females (13-59 years of age), side asymmetries of neuroimpairments were systematically investigated. A characteristic right-sided dominance in terms of dysfunction and neurology was revealed. Differences in the perinatal/early postnatal development of finer brain net structures between brain halves are suggested as a possible explanation.
