DTo date to June 29th atHoliday Inn – EUR Medici Park The international congress is held “Cdkl5 All Involution”. It is an event that allows families and researchers to confront each other, with the common goal of finding a cure for the rare genetic pathology of the CDKL5 deficit disorder. Among the speakers there is the Resessor and professor of the Federico II University of Naples, Maria Luisa Tutinowho has a daughter with this pathology and who studies a bacterium in Antarctica to find a cure.

In Rome, thanks to theassociation CDKL5 – Together towards the treatmentwill take stock of this disease, in an event that unites about 300 participants between families, 41 children with cdkl5 deficit disorder, researchers, clinicals and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry. The therapeutic approaches to study range from gene therapy to genome editing, explains Professor Maria Luisa Tutino, researcher of the University of Naples Federico II and mother of a girl Cdkl5, Elettra Yvonne, 15 years old.
Professor Tutino, together with other colleagues, is carrying out studies on replacement protein therapythrough the production of the human protein in bacteria isolated from sea water in Antarctica. The bacterium on which the search is being concentrated is it Pseudoalteromonas Haloplanktis Tac125, Antarctic Marine Bacteriumthe only guest in which the CDKL5 protein is produced in a recombinant way. “I am convinced that in the next 5 years we will have a turning point“, He said. “It is not said that we will be, but in this” scientific race “with the victory of one wins the whole community”.
