CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a serious and rare genetic disorder caused by a cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) gene mutation. The CDKL5 gene is located on the X chromosome and is responsible for processing proteins that are essential for normal brain function. CDD predominantly affects females and is characterized by early-onset, difficult-to-control seizures and severe neuro-developmental impairment. Many children diagnosed with CDD also experience scoliosis, visual impairment, sensory problems, gastrointestinal difficulties, and sleeping disorders.

"We are honored to be selected by Marinus as the exclusive specialty pharmacy provider for ZTALMY and are committed to providing supportive and compassionate care for people living with CDD," said Mike Fieri, Orsini Specialty Pharmacy Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
