How often does CDKL5 occur?
The incidence of a CDKL5 mutation in the population is unknown at this time. There are fewer than 100 cases of CDKL5 mutations that have been reported in the medical and scientific literature. However, we know that there are at least 200 documented cases worldwide, and that number is growing rapidly. More and more children and adults are being tested and diagnosed, as doctors and geneticists become more familiar with CDKL5.
