H.R. No. 944
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Rett Syndrome Awareness Month is being observed in
  October 2025 to promote better understanding of this developmental
  disorder; and
         WHEREAS, Every two hours, a child is born with Rett syndrome,
  a rare postnatal genetic neurological disorder that occurs almost
  exclusively in females; symptoms first appear in infants and
  toddlers between the ages of 6 to 18 months, followed by a period of
  regression when motor skills are gradually lost over time; and
         WHEREAS, Individuals with Rett syndrome require assistance
  with daily tasks throughout their lives; more than half of those
  diagnosed with the condition lose their ability to walk, and many
  suffer from impairments such as loss of speech, seizures,
  scoliosis, and irregular breathing patterns; one of the most
  distinctive signs of Rett syndrome is near constant repetitive hand
  movements while awake; and
         WHEREAS, Biomedical research suggests that neurological
  symptoms may be reversed even decades after diagnosis; scientists
  discovered the gene that causes Rett syndrome in 1999, and there
  have since been several breakthroughs in developing a cure; the
  first FDA-approved treatment launched in 2023; and
         WHEREAS, The International Rett Syndrome Foundation is one of
  the world's largest private sources of funds for Rett syndrome
  research; the organization works to address the full spectrum of
  the disorder while advocating for policies that enhance the quality
  of life for patients and their families; and
         WHEREAS, Rett syndrome is a serious and life-changing
  condition, and Rett Syndrome Awareness Month serves as a means of
  rallying support for vital research and resources that can help
  improve the outlook for those living with the disorder; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize October 2025 as Rett Syndrome
  Awareness Month and encourage all Texans to learn more about the
  condition.
