Insights into familial adult myoclonus epilepsy pathogenesis: How the same repeat expansion in six unrelated genes may lead to cortical excitability
9 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) results from the same pathogenic TTTTA/TTTCA pentanucleotide repeat expansion in six distinct genes encoding proteins with different subcellular localizations and very different functions, which poses the issue of what causes the neurobiological disturbances that lead to the clinical phenotype. Postmortem and electrophysiological studies have pointed to cortical...
