Abstract excerpt
The locus for Unverricht-Lundborg disease, EPM 1, has recently been mapped to chromosome 21q22.3. A locus, EJM 1, predisposing to idiopathic generalised epilepsy in families of probands with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy has been localised to chromosome 6p by evidence of linkage to the HLA region. However, segregation analysis suggests a two-locus model for JME and evidence has been obtained for genetic...
