Abstract excerpt
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a distinct form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). One of the candidate regions for human JME has been mapped on chromosome band 6p11-p12 by linkage analyses and is termed EJM1 (MIM 254770). Recently, we reported the reduction of the EJM1 region to 3.5cM that contains 18 genes, the exclusion of three genes (LRRC1, GCLC, KIAA0057) by mutation analyses, and the...
