Rett syndrome

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the central nervous system.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone density and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility. According to the WHO criteria, osteoporosis is defined as a BMD that lies 2.5 standard deviations or more below the average value for young healthy adults (a T-score below -2.5 SD).
