Epilepsy, Familial Adult Myoclonic, 1; Fame1

Description

Familial cortical myoclonic tremor associated with epilepsy (FCMTE) is characterized by an autosomal dominant inheritance, adult-onset cortical myoclonus, and seizures in 40% of patients. Myoclonus is usually the first symptom and is characterized by tremulous finger movements and myoclonus of the extremities (summary by Depienne et al., 2010). Genetic Heterogeneity of Familial Adult Myoclonic EpilepsyFAME1 maps to chromosome 8q24; FAME2 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the ADRA2B gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 2q11; FAME3 (OMIM ) maps to chromosome 5p15; FAME4 (OMIM ) maps to chromosome 3q26.32-q28; and FAME5 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the CNTN2 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 1q32.Progressive myoclonic epilepsy is a more severe disorder (see, e.g., EPM1, {254800}).
