Previously called EPM1. AR progressive myoclonic epilepsy 1A (Unverricht and Lundborg) (EPM1A). Onset of neurodegneration between 6 and 13. Although it is considered a progressive myoclonic epilepsy - it differs as it only appears to be progressive in adolescence and stabilises in early adulthood. Lalioti et al, 1997 - 6 nucleotide changes in the CSTB gene in Non-Finnish EPM1 families - molecular modelling of G4R -predict to affect contact of cystatin B with papain. The 6 mutations werre found in 7/29 unrelated cases -hom in 1, compound het in the rest. Lalioti et al, 1997 - expansions of a 12 mer repeat 70 nt upstream of the transription start site. Normal alleles have 203 copies, whereas mutant alleles contain more than 60 such repeats. See premutation alleles which show marked instability.Created: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m.
