The gene for progressive myoclonus epilepsy of the Lafora type maps to chromosome 6q

1 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt

Progressive myoclonus epilepsy of the Lafora type (Lafora's disease) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by epilepsy, myoclonus, dementia, and periodic acid-Schiff-positive intracellular inclusion bodies. The inclusion deposits consist of branched polysaccharides (polyglucosans) but the responsible biochemical defect has not been identified. Onset is during late childhood or adolescence and the...
