Phenotype, EEG, neuroimaging and Genetic profile of Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy in Bangladesh: An Observational Study
Abstract:
Background: Progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) is an
epilepsy syndrome characterized by myoclonus, cognitive
deficit and ataxia. Common PMEs are Unverricht–Lundborg
disease, myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fiber (MERRF)
syndrome, Lafora body disease, neuronal ceroid
lipofuscinoses, and sialidases. This study was conducted to
obtain baseline information on PME in terms of phenotype,
EEG, MRI of the brain, and overall genetic profile.
