EPILEPSY, FAMILIAL ADULT MYOCLONIC, 5; FAME5

Alternate names

EPILEPSY, FAMILIAL ADULT MYOCLONIC, 5; FAME5 Is also known as fcmte5, cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy, familial, 5

Description

Familial adult myoclonic epilepsy-5 is an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by onset of seizures in adolescence, followed by the development of cortical myoclonic tremor later in life. Some patients may also have neuropsychiatric abnormalities (summary by Stogmann et al., 2013).
