Journal of thoracic disease, 2013

Characterisation of sleep apneas and respiratory circuitry in mice lacking CDKL5

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CDKL5 gene. Central apneas during wakefulness have been reported in patients with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Studies on CDKL5‐knockout mice, a CDKL5 deficiency disorder model, reported sleep apneas, but it is still unclear whether these events are central (central ...
