CDKL5 deficiency disorder is characterized by seizures that begin in infancy, followed by significant delays in many aspects of development.
Seizures in CDKL5 deficiency disorder usually begin within the first 3 months of life, and can appear as early as the first week after birth. The types of seizures change with age, and may follow a predictable pattern. The most common types are generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which involve a loss of consciousness, muscle rigidity, and convulsions; tonic seizures, which are characterized by abnormal muscle contractions; and epileptic spasms, which involve short episodes of muscle jerks. Seizures occur daily in most people with CDKL5 deficiency disorder, although they can have periods when they are seizure-free. Seizures in CDKL5 deficiency disorder are typically resistant to treatment.
Development is impaired in children with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Most have severe intellectual disability and little or no speech. The development of gross motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and walking, is delayed or not achieved. About one-third of affected individuals are able to walk independently. Fine motor skills, such as picking up small objects with the fingers, are also impaired; about half of affected individuals have purposeful use of their hands. Most people with this condition have vision problems (cortical visual impairment).
Other common features of CDKL5 deficiency disorder include repetitive hand movements (stereotypies), such as clapping, hand licking, and hand sucking; teeth grinding (bruxism); disrupted sleep; feeding difficulties; and gastrointestinal problems including constipation and backflow of acidic stomach contents into the esophagus (gastroesophageal reflux). Some affected individuals have episodes of irregular breathing. Distinctive facial features in some people with CDKL5 deficiency disorder include a high and broad forehead, large and deep-set eyes, a well-defined space between the nose and upper lip (philtrum), full lips, widely spaced teeth, and a high roof of the mouth (palate). Other physical differences can also occur, such as an unusually small head size (microcephaly), side-to-side curvature of the spine (scoliosis), and tapered fingers.
CDKL5 deficiency disorder was previously classified as an atypical form of Rett syndrome. These conditions have common features, including seizures, intellectual disability, and other problems with development. However, the signs and symptoms associated with CDKL5 deficiency disorder and its genetic cause are distinct from those of Rett syndrome, and CDKL5 deficiency disorder is now considered a separate condition.
MalaCards based summary : Epileptic Encephalopathy, Early Infantile, 2, also known as early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 2, is related to epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures and early infantile epileptic encephalopathy, and has symptoms including myoclonus, constipation and difficulty sleeping. An important gene associated with Epileptic Encephalopathy, Early Infantile, 2 is CDKL5 (Cyclin Dependent Kinase Like 5), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Nicotine addiction. The drugs Pregnanolone and Anesthetics have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye, and related phenotypes are generalized tonic seizure and thick vermilion border Disease Ontology : 12 An early infantile epileptic encephalopathy characterized by X-linked dominant inheritance of seizure onset in the first months of life, intellectual disability, and poor motor control that has material basis in mutation in the CDKL5 gene on chromosome Xp22. NIH Rare Diseases : 52 CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a genetic disorder that causes seizures , developmental delay , and severe intellectual disability . Seizures typically begin within a few months after birth and are difficult to control with medications. Most children have 1 to 5 seizures every day. Other symptoms include problems with sleeping, feeding, and teeth grinding. Gastrointestinal symptoms are also common and may include constipation, reflux, and air swallowing. About 1 in 5 children use a feeding tube . CDKL5 deficiency disorder occurs more often in females than males, and males usually have more severe symptoms. This disorder is caused by a change (pathogenic variant) in the CDKL5 gene that is usually not inherited from either parent (de novo ). It is an X-linked dominant disorder. CDKL5 deficiency disorder was once thought to be a variant of Rett syndrome but is now considered a separate disorder. OMIM : 56 Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-2 is an X-linked dominant severe neurologic disorder characterized by onset of seizures in the first months of life and severe global developmental delay resulting in mental retardation and poor motor control. Other features include lack of speech development, subtle dysmorphic facial features, sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal problems, and stereotypic hand movements. There is some phenotypic overlap with Rett syndrome (312750), but EIEE2 is considered to be a distinct entity (summary by Fehr et al., 2013). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EIEE, see EIEE1 (308350). (300672) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 2: A severe form of epilepsy characterized by seizures or spasms beginning in infancy. Patients with epileptic encephalopathy early infantile type 2 manifest features resembling Rett syndrome such as microcephaly, lack of speech development, stereotypic hand movements. However, EIEE2 and Rett syndrome are considered two distinct entities. |
