Patient 1 had a free-running rhythm of sleep-wake cycle from 3 years of age. At the age of 4 years, the peak time of melatonin was delayed 6 h compared to normal control and the peak value was at the lower limit. Patient 2 had a fragmented sleep pattern accompanied by night screaming from 1 year and 6 months of age. At the age of 10 years, the peak time of melatonin secretion was normal but the peak value was at the lower limit. These patients were given 5 mg melatonin orally prior to bedtime. Exogenous melatonin dramatically improved the sleep-wake cycle in patient 1. In patient 2, exogenous melatonin showed a hypnotic effect but early morning awakenings occurred occasionally. When melatonin treatment was stopped, the sleep disorders recurred and re-administration of 3 mg melatonin was effective in both patients. The effect was maintained over 2 years without any adverse effects. These findings suggests that sleep disorders in patients with Rett syndrome may relate with an impaired secretion of melatonin.","tracks":[{"project":"sentences","denotations":[{"id":"TextSentencer_T1","span":{"begin":0,"end":96},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T2","span":{"begin":97,"end":329},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T3","span":{"begin":330,"end":406},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T4","span":{"begin":407,"end":542},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T5","span":{"begin":543,"end":647},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T6","span":{"begin":648,"end":762},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T7","span":{"begin":763,"end":828},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T8","span":{"begin":829,"end":905},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T9","span":{"begin":906,"end":1016},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T10","span":{"begin":1017,"end":1155},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T11","span":{"begin":1156,"end":1223},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"TextSentencer_T12","span":{"begin":1224,"end":1351},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":0,"end":96},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":97,"end":329},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":330,"end":406},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":407,"end":542},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":543,"end":647},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":648,"end":762},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":763,"end":828},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T8","span":{"begin":829,"end":905},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T9","span":{"begin":906,"end":1016},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T10","span":{"begin":1017,"end":1155},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T11","span":{"begin":1156,"end":1223},"obj":"Sentence"},{"id":"T12","span":{"begin":1224,"end":1351},"obj":"Sentence"}],"namespaces":[{"prefix":"_base","uri":"http://pubannotation.org/ontology/tao.owl#"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"TextSentencer_T1","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T2","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T3","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T4","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T5","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T6","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T7","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T8","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T9","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T10","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T11","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"TextSentencer_T12","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T7","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T8","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T9","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T10","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T11","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"},{"subj":"T12","pred":"source","obj":"sentences"}]},{"project":"performance-test","denotations":[{"id":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T1","span":{"begin":0,"end":5},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001977"},{"id":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T2","span":{"begin":132,"end":137},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001977"},{"id":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T3","span":{"begin":231,"end":236},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001977"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T1","pred":"source","obj":"performance-test"},{"subj":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T2","pred":"source","obj":"performance-test"},{"subj":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T3","pred":"source","obj":"performance-test"}]},{"project":"PubCasesORDO","denotations":[{"id":"TI1","span":{"begin":82,"end":95},"obj":"ORDO:778"},{"id":"AB1","span":{"begin":186,"end":199},"obj":"ORDO:778"},{"id":"AB2","span":{"begin":1286,"end":1299},"obj":"ORDO:778"}],"namespaces":[{"prefix":"ORDO","uri":"http://www.orpha.net/ORDO/Orphanet_"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"TI1","pred":"source","obj":"PubCasesORDO"},{"subj":"AB1","pred":"source","obj":"PubCasesORDO"},{"subj":"AB2","pred":"source","obj":"PubCasesORDO"}]},{"project":"UBERON-AE","denotations":[{"id":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T1","span":{"begin":0,"end":5},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001977"},{"id":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T2","span":{"begin":132,"end":137},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001977"},{"id":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T3","span":{"begin":231,"end":236},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001977"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T1","pred":"source","obj":"UBERON-AE"},{"subj":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T2","pred":"source","obj":"UBERON-AE"},{"subj":"PD-UBERON-AE-B_T3","pred":"source","obj":"UBERON-AE"}]}],"config":{"attribute
