Description

Familial adult myoclonic epilepsy-2 is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by rhythmic myoclonic jerks of cortical origin. Some affected individuals have generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and rare patients show cognitive decline (summary by De Fusco et al., 2014).For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of familial adult myoclonic epilepsy, see FAME1 (OMIM ).
