title: Neurodevelopmental disorders: Clinical criteria for Rett syndrome.
abstract: Advances in the clinical and genetic understanding of Rett syndrome have meant that existing diagnostic guidelines for this neurodevelopmental disorder need to be revisited. New clinical criteria for the diagnosis of Rett syndrome by Neul and colleagues are welcome, but should more prominence be given to molecular diagnosis?
