Ever wonder what exactly CDKL5 is? 🧬
For many of us, those five letters represent a life-changing journey. CDKL5 is a rare genetic condition caused by a change in the CDKL5 gene, located on the X chromosome. This gene is vital for normal brain development, and when it doesn’t work as it should, it can lead to frequent seizures and significant developmental challenges.
We know it can feel overwhelming, but here is the most important thing: you are not alone. 💜
As we head into June’s CDKL5 Awareness Month, we want to remind you that you deserve more than just treatment: you deserve the very best support.
