9. Rett Syndrome

Rett syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which is neurological. It mostly affects girls. Luckily, most cases are discovered early in life, improving life expectancy. It can be challenging to deal with Rett syndrome because there is no cure and treatment can be overwhelming and costly. This is a condition that has a high genetic basis and is thought to be somewhat related to autism, but it also manifests itself physically. It's a good idea to get a routine physical examination in the first years after birth to detect possible symptoms.
