ABOUT THE CASK GENE
Because CASK was discovered recently - in 2008 - the information available to parents is fairly limited. Learn the basics about this gene here.
Because the gene was discovered before any CASK-specific clinical syndrome was identified, a CASK diagnosis can only be made with genetic testing. Learn more about these tests here.
New medical discoveries are often defined by the most obvious cases first, so a web search paints a dismal picture. See here what parents are actually seeing.
It’s an exciting time to be learning about CASK. Thanks to the fairly recent discovery of this gene, the science is cutting edge, and the results are rapidly increasing our understanding of CASK.
