We present the first study addressing both bone mineral density (BMD) and bone size in RTT. Our object was to determine whether patients with RTT do have low BMD when correcting for smaller bones by examination with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We compared areal BMD (aBMDspine and aBMDtotal hip) and volumetric bone mineral apparent density (vBMADspine and vBMADneck) in 61 patients and 122 matched healthy controls. Further, spine and hip aBMD and vBMAD of patients were associated with clinical risk factors of low BMD, low-energy fractures, MECP2 mutation groups, and X chromosome inactivation (XCI). Patients with RTT had reduced bone size on the order of 10% and showed lower values of spine and hip aBMD and vBMAD (p\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) adjusted for age, pubertal status, and body mass index (BMI). aBMDspine, vBMADspine, and aBMDtotal hip were associated with low-energy fractures (p\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05). Walking was significantly associated to aBMDtotal hip and vBMADneck adjusted for age and body mass index (BMI). Further, vBMADneck was significantly associated to a diagnosis of epilepsy, antiepileptic treatment, and MECP2 mutation group, but none of the associations with vBMADneck remained clinically significant in a multiple adjusted model including age and BMI. Neither aBMDspine, vBMADspine, nor aBMDtotal hip were significantly associated with epilepsy, antiepileptic treatment, MECP2 mutation group, XCI, or vitamin D status. Low bone mass and small bones are evident in RTT, indicating an apparent low-bone-formation phenotype. \u00a9 2011 American Society for Bone and Mineral
