Diagnostic
3.Diagnosis of Rett syndrome based on consensus clinical criteria; a test for MECP2 mutations (Xq28), will be performed at screening if results from an accredited laboratory are not available; selection for the trial is not contigent on the result of MECP2 test. Patients with known MECP2 duplications will not be eligible.

5.Patient meets all of the following criteria related to breathing abnormalities:
a.Parent report of 10 episodes or more of breathing abnormality per day during wakefulness in the week prior to the screening visit;
b.Time per hour spent on normal breathing is less than 90% of the total time per hour of wakefulness (i.e., =10% of the time should be abnormal breathing);
c.Has at least 10 episodes of breathing dysrhythmia, defined by episodes =10 seconds of breath holding (apnea), per hour during cardiorespiratory monitoring (performed with home/ambulatory monitoring system during screening period).
6.Stable medication regimen for 4 weeks prior to beginning the study (if receiving services - physical, occupational, or speech therapy - subjects must be on a stable regimen of these services for 3 months prior to beginning the study). Female patients of childbearing potential are to use adequate contraception as recommended by their Health Care Provider.
