Abstract excerpt
Cyclin-dependent kinase like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder (CDD) is a rare monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the CDKL5 gene, with approximately 50% of reported variants being point mutations. Base editing presents a promising therapeutic strategy to correct such mutations, restore endogenous CDKL5 expression, and pave the way for novel treatments for CDD. To assess the...
