Abstract excerpt
The CDKL5 gene has been implicated in infantile spasms and more recently in a Rett syndrome-like phenotype. We report a case of a young girl presenting generalized convulsions at 10 days of life. Subsequent mutation analysis by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography of MECP2 and CDKL5 genes revealed heterozygosity for a c.47_48insAGG insertion in exon 1 of MECP2 and heterozygosity for a new nonsense...
