The impairment of alternative splicing of exon 19 and the lack of a part of the proteasome signal due to c.2788insG mutation could disrupt the dynamic regulation of isoform levels especially hCDKL5_5 and hCDKL5_1 during pre and postnatal neurodevelopment and then could cause pathogenic phenotype. Signal peptidase I serine active site seems to modulate hCDKL5_5 movements between nucleus and cytoplasm. We noticed that the resulting phenotypes from truncated mutations among the C-terminal domain of hCDKL5 are almost similar and are always severe.
