Additionally, affected people develop characteristic hand stereotypies that are classically wringing or washing in nature, although they make take on a variety of forms such as cl...
متن کاملWhat We Know and Would Like to Know about CDKL5 and Its Involvement in Epileptic Encephalopathy
In the last few years, the X-linked serine/threonine kinase cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) has been associated with early-onset epileptic encephalopathies characterized by the manifestation of intractable epilepsy within the first weeks of life, severe developmental delay, profound hypotonia, and often the presence of some Rett-syndrome-like features. The association of CDKL5 with neuro...
