ABOUT CDKL5
CDKL5 stands for cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5, a protein whose gene is located on the X chromosome. The CDKL5 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is essential in forming the connections for normal brain development, with mutations causing a deficiency in the protein level. Mutations in the gene are usually spontaneous ‘de novo’ occurrences, rather than inherited….
