Muwala wo alina obuzibu mu nkulaakulana? Tulina kwogera ku bulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome?

Omwana wo omuto naddala omuwala ayinza okuba nga yalaba ng’alwawo okukula oba okukaluubirirwa okukola ebintu bye yakolanga. Teebereza omwana eyali akola obulungi okumala emyezi nga mukaaga, amangu ago alekera awo okuyiga ebintu ebipya era n’atuuka n’okwerabira ebintu bye yayiga emabegako. Kya bulijjo nnyo maama oba taata okuwulira ng’atidde nnyo n’okweraliikirira ng’alaba ekintu nga kino. Leero tugenda kwogera ku mbeera etali ya bulijjo nnyo, naye nga kikulu okumanya, esinga kukwata ku bawala. Kino kye tuyita Rett Syndrome .

Obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome kye ki? Mu ngeri ennyangu...

Mu ngeri ennyangu, Rett Syndrome mbeera etali ya bulijjo ey’obuzaale n’obusimu . Businga kukwata bawala. Kiva ku nkyukakyuka y’obuzaale mu buzaale mu mubiri gwaffe, naddala obuzaale obuyitibwa `MECP2`. Ensengekera eno eya `MECP2` ekola kinene nnyo mu nkula y’obwongo bwaffe n’okuwanyisiganya amawulire wakati w’obutoffaali bw’obusimu, kwe kugamba, akakwate wakati w’obutoffaali bw’obusimu (synapse) . Kale, bwe wabaawo enkyukakyuka mu buzaale buno, bukosa enkula y’obwongo bw’omwana.

Mu mbeera eno, emyezi egisooka egy’obulamu bw’omwana, ebiseera ebisinga okutuuka ku myezi nga 6, gikula ng’abaana abalala. Bakola ebintu ebituukagana n’emyaka gyabwe, gamba ng’okwekulukuunya, okumwenya, n’okutambuza ebitundu byabwe eby’omubiri. Wabula oluvannyuma lw’emyezi nga 6, omwana atandika okufiirwa obukugu n’obusobozi bwe yayiga emabegako. Ng’ekyokulabirako, obusobozi bw’okukwata akazannyo n’emikono gyombi, okuwuuba nnyina, n’okwogera ebigambo bukendeera. Obubonero buno bulabika ku mitendera egy’enjawulo ng’omwana akula. Wabula ekintu kimu eky’okujjukira nti wadde obubonero buno bulekera awo okweyongera (okugenda mu maaso) okumala ekiseera, tebubula ddala. N’olwekyo, abaana bano beetaaga okulabirira n’okuyambibwa mu ngeri ey’enjawulo obulamu bwabwe bwonna.

Bubonero ki obulaga obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome?

Nga bwe kyayogeddwako emabegako, omwana asobola okukula mu ngeri eya bulijjo okutuusa ng’aweza emyezi nga 6 egy’obukulu. Obubonero obusooka obw'obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome kwe kulwawo okukula . Kino kitegeeza nti omwana alwawo okukola ebintu ebisaanira emyaka gye, okugeza obutaseeyeeya ng’abaana abalala beekulukuunya, okuwuuba emikono oba okutandika okwogera.

Omwana bw’agenda akaddiwa, obubonero bw’okudda emabega mu nkula, nga mu kino ebyo ebiyize biddamu okubula, birabika bulungi.

Obubonero obukosa ebinywa by’omwana, entambula ye n’enneeyisa ye:

• Ebizibu by‟okutebenkera n‟okukwatagana ng‟otambula: Okukaluubirirwa okuyimirira n‟okutambula. Ayinza okugwa emirundi mingi.
• Obuzibu okwogera:Kifuuka kizibu okwogera ebigambo n’okwogera ebirowoozo. Abaana abamu bayinza n’okubulwa ddala obusobozi bw’okwogera.
• Okukaluubirirwa okumira oba okukamula emmere: Kino kiyinza okuviirako omwana obutafuna mmere eyeetaagisa, okugejja, n’okubulwa endya embi .
• Okunafuwa oba okukaluba kw’ebinywa (spasticity): obutasobola kufuga bulungi bitundu by’omubiri.
• Okukaluubirirwa okukola entambula ezimanyiddwa ku kiragiro (apraxia): Okugeza, obutasobola kukikola nga ogambye nti "wuuba omukono gwo," naye oluusi okusobola okuwuuba omukono gwo ng'oyimiridde.
• Entambula z’emikono eziddiŋŋana: Okutambuza emikono emirundi mingi ng’okusika, okusika, n’okukuba mu ngalo ziraga nnyo obulwadde buno.

Obubonero obulala:

• Obuzibu mu tulo: Obuteebaka bulungi ekiro, okuzuukuka ennyo.
• Ebizibu by’enkola y’okugaaya emmere: ebintu nga okuddamu okuzimba n’okuziyira .
• Obulemu ku magezi: Obusobozi bw‟okuyiga buyinza okukendeera.
• Obutawummula emirundi mingi n’okunyiiga.
• Obulwadde bwa Scoliosis: Omugongo gukoona ku mabbali.
• Okukula mpola: Ebintu ng’obuwanvu n’okugejja biyinza okulwawo okusinga abaana abalala.

Obubonero oluusi obuyinza okutta omuntu mulimu:

• Obuzibu mu kussa: Okussa obubi, okukwata omukka n’ebirala.
• Omutima obutakuba bulungi.
• Okukonziba.

Abaana abalina obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome balina ebifaananyi eby’enjawulo mu maaso?

Abaana abalina obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome bayinza okuba n’omutwe omutono bw’ogeraageranya n’omubiri gwabwe gwonna. Kino kiyitibwa microcephaly . Kino kiyinza okuvaako ebifaananyi bya ffeesi okulabika katono. Wabula tewali bifaananyi bya ffeesi byennyini eby'enjawulo ku buzibu buno, gamba nga "bweti ffeesi bw'efaanana."

Oluusi obubonero bw'obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome buyinza okufaananako n'obw'obulwadde obulala obuyitibwa Angelman Syndrome . Embeera zombi zirina ebintu bye zifaanaganya, gamba ng’obuzibu mu kwogera n’okwogera, okulwawo okukula, okukonziba, n’obuzibu mu tulo. Wabula obulwadde bwa Angelman Syndrome bulina ebifaananyi ebitongole mu maaso, gamba ng’amaaso aganywevu, akamwa akagazi, n’ebituli ebinene wakati w’amannyo. Rett Syndrome terina bifaananyi bino ebitongole mu maaso.

Emitendera gy’obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome

Embeera eno eyita mu mitendera egy’enjawulo ng’omwana akula. Ku buli mutendera, omwana ayinza okulaga obubonero obw’enjawulo. Kyokka abaana bonna tebayita mu mitendera gino gyonna mu ngeri y’emu. Ng’ekyokulabirako, abaana abamu abalina obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome bayinza obutasobola kutambula.

Emitendera gy’obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome:

1. Omutendera I - Omutendera gw’okutandika amangu: Guno gutandika wakati w’emyezi 6 ne 18 egy’obukulu. Enkula y’omwana ekendeera. Ng’ekyokulabirako, okuseeyeeya kulwawo, era obusobozi bw’okutunuulira maama obutereevu bukendeera. Ebinywa by’omwana tebinywevu nnyo ( low muscle tone ), era obuzibu mu kuliisa buyinza okubaawo.

2. Omutendera II - Omutendera ogugenda mu maaso amangu: Kino kitera okubaawo wakati w’emyaka 1 ne 4. Omwana ayinza okubulwa obusobozi bw’okwogera n’okukozesa emikono gye. Bayinza okunyiga ebikonde emirundi mingi. Abaana abamu era bayinza okwoleka enneeyisa ezifaananako n‟ezo z‟abaana abalina obulwadde bwa Autism Spectrum Disorder, gamba ng‟obutafaayo ku nkolagana n‟abantu.

3. Omutendera III - Plateau oba temporary stable stage: Kino kitera okubaawo wakati w’emyaka 2 ne 10. Obumu ku bubonero obwali obw’amaanyi mu mutendera ogwokubiri, okugeza, obukugu mu mpuliziganya n’obukugu mu kukola emirimu, buyinza okulongooka katono. Bayinza okulaga nti baagala okuddamu okubeera n’abantu abalala. Okukonziba kutera okubaawo mu kiseera kino.

4. Omutendera IV - Okukendeera kw’enkola y’omubiri oluvannyuma: Kino kiyinza okubaawo ekiseera kyonna oluvannyuma lw’omutendera III. Omwana ayinza okubulwa obusobozi bw’okutambula n’amaanyi g’ebinywa. Naye, omwana obukugu mu mpuliziganya n‟okulowooza bulina okweyongera okubaawo mu mutendera guno.

Biki ebivaako obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome?

Rett Syndrome etera okuva ku nkyukakyuka y’obuzaale mu buzaale obuyitibwa `MECP2`. Nga bwe nnagambye emabegako, obuzaale buno bulagira okukola puloteyina eyitibwa `MECP2`. Puloteeni eno eyamba okukuuma enkolagana (synapses) wakati w’obutoffaali bw’obusimu era eyamba obwongo bw’omwana okukola obulungi.

Wabula si balwadde bonna aba Rett Syndrome nti bakwatagana n’obuzaale bwa MECP2. Enjawulo ezimu ez’obuzaale (okugeza, okuggyibwako) oba enkyukakyuka mu buzaale obulala, nga CDJK5 ne FOXG1, nazo zisobola okuleeta emisango gya Rett Syndrome egy’enjawulo. Oluusi, obubonero buno buyinza okuva ku buzaale obutannaba kuzuulibwa.

Ekikulu kiri nti enkyukakyuka eno ey’obuzaale etera okubaawo mu ngeri ey’okwekolako/mu ngeri ey’ekifuulannenge . Kwe kugamba, tekitera kusikira bazadde okutuuka ku baana. N’olwekyo teweetaaga kuwulira musango nnyo ku nsonga eyo.

Abalenzi bafuna obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome?

Obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome butera okukwata abawala bokka. Kino kiri bwe kityo kubanga enkyukakyuka mu buzaale ekigireeta ebaawo ku X chromosome. Nga bw’omanyi, enkazi erina ensengekera za X bbiri (XX).

Olw’okuba abalenzi balina X chromosome emu ne Y chromosome emu (XY), embeera eno tetera kubaawo. Singa omulenzi aba n’enjawulo eno ku X chromosome ye yokka, obubonero buyinza okuba obw’amaanyi ennyo. Kino kiyinza okuvaamu olubuto oba n’okufa ng’azaalibwa.

Abasawo embeera eno mu balenzi bagiyita ``MECP2-related severe neonatal encephalopathy.'' Embeera eno era esobola okulaga obubonero obufaananako n'obulwadde bwa Rett syndrome, gamba ng'obulemu mu magezi, okukonziba, n'obuzibu mu kutambula.

Ebizibu ebiva mu bulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome

Omwana alina embeera eno ali mu bulabe bw’okufuna ebizibu bino wammanga, ng’ebimu ku byo biyinza okutta obulamu bwe:

• Aspiration pneumonia: Embeera y’ekifuba ereetebwa emmere oba ekyokunywa okuyingira mu mawuggwe.
• Obulwadde bw’okusannyalala: Okukonziba ennyo.
• Omutima obutakola bulungi: Ng’ekyokulabirako, embeera nga Long QT syndrome .
• Obuzibu mu mawuggwe oba mu kussa.

Abasawo bazuula batya obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome?

Omusawo azuula obulwadde bwa Rett Syndrome ng’akebera omwana n’akola ebigezo ebyetaagisa. Nga maama, oyinza okuteebereza nti waliwo ekikyamu ng’omwana wo tatuukiriza bikulu by’enkulaakulana mu myaka gye naddala mu mwaka ogusooka. Wano w’osaanidde okutwala omwana wo ew’omusawo w’abaana oba omusawo w’amaka go.
