Professional Statement

Our research seeks to understand the impact of diet on gastrointestinal health and quality of life in children and young adults with rare genetic disorders. In Rett syndrome (RTT), a disorder caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene, 90% of affected individuals develop gastrointestinal problems that affect their health and quality of life. The mechanisms by which MECP2 alters gastrointestinal function in RTT is likely to have a dietary component.
We currently are characterizing the composition of the intestinal microbiome and metabolome in children and young adults with RTT. Our finding of higher bacterial richness and α-diversity among RTT individuals who consumed table foods rather than a milk-based formula suggests a potential benefit of a vegetable-rich, fiber-rich diet. Bacteroides was the predominant genus among all diet groups, but the genus Prevotella was common in individuals who consumed table food, and the genus Bifidobacterium was prominent in individuals who received formula as their primary food source. The lower level of dietary, fecal and plasma glutamate concentrations, the latter in association with abdominal gas bloating, raises the possibility of aberrant neurochemistry and neurologic function in these individuals.
