A rare genetic progressive myoclonic epilepsy characterized by childhood onset of progressive dysarthria, myoclonus, ataxia, seizures, and cognitive decline. The disease takes a protracted course with patients surviving into adulthood, developing signs and symptoms like psychosis with outbursts of prolonged agitation and screaming, spasticity and hyperreflexia, confusion, mutism, and incontinence. There are no visual disturbances. Muscle biopsy shows numerous periodic acid-Schiff-positive inclusions, so-called Lafora bodies. |

Progressive myoclonic epilepsy with dystonia is a rare, genetic epilepsy syndrome characterized by neonatal or early infantile onset of severe, progressive, typically frequent and prolonged myoclonic seizures that are refractory to treatment, associated with localized and/or generalized paroxysmal dystonia (which later becomes persistent). Other features include severe hypotonia, hemiplegia, psychomotor regression (or lack of psychomotor development) and progressive cerebral and cerebellar atrophy, with affected individuals becoming progressively non-reactive to environmental stimuli. |

A rare epilepsy syndrome characterized by progressive myoclonus epilepsy in association with primary glomerular disease. Patients present with neurologic symptoms (including tremor, action myoclonus, tonic-clonic seizures, later ataxia and dysarthria) that may precede, occur simultaneously or be followed by renal manifestations including proteinuria that progresses to nephrotic syndrome and end-stage renal disease. In some patients, sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, sensorineural hearing loss and dilated cardiomyopathy are associated symptoms. |

A rare hereditary spastic ataxia disorder with childhood onset of slowly progressive lower limb spastic paraparesis and cerebellar ataxia (with dysarthria, swallowing difficulties, motor degeneration), associated with sensorimotor neuropathy (including muscle weakness and distal amyotrophy in lower extremities) and progressive myoclonic epilepsy. Ocular signs (ptosis, oculomotor apraxia), dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, dystonic movements and myoclonus may also be associated. Caused by homozygous mutation in the AFG3L2 gene on chromosome 18p11. |

A rare genetic neurological disorder characterized by childhood to adolescent-onset of action myoclonus, generalized tonic-clonic seizures and slowly progressive, moderate to severe cognitive impairment that may lead to dementia. EEG reveals progressive slowing of background activity and epileptic abnormalities and brain MRI shows cerebellar and brainstem atrophy. There is evidence the disease may be caused by homozygous mutation in the CERS1 gene on chromosome 19p12. |

A rare genetic neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disorder with characteristics of infantile to early childhood onset of progressive myoclonic seizures (occasionally accompanied by generalised tonic-clonic seizures) and severe progressive neurological regression, leading to psychomotor and cognitive decline, cerebellar ataxia, dementia and, frequently, early death. Vision loss may be associated. EEG typically reveals epileptiform activity with predominance in the posterior region and photosensitivity. Caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the KCTD7 gene on chromosome 7q11. |

A rare genetic neurological disorder characterised by early-onset progressive ataxia associated with myoclonic seizures (frequently associated with other seizure types such as generalised tonic-clonic, absence and drop attacks), scoliosis of variable severity, areflexia, elevated creatine kinase serum levels and relative preservation of cognitive function until late in the disease course. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the GOSR2 gene on chromosome 17q21. |

A rare genetic neurological disorder characterised by early-onset progressive ataxia associated with myoclonic seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures (which are often sleep-related) and normal to mild intellectual disability. Dysarthria, upward gaze palsy, sensory neuropathy, developmental delay and autistic disorder have also been associated. |

A rare, genetic, neurological disorder characterized by childhood to adolescent onset of progressive myoclonus (which becomes very severe and results in major motor impediment) associated with infrequent tonic-clonic seizures, and, occasionally, ataxia. Learning disability prior to seizure onset and mild cognitive decline may be associated. |

A rare, genetic, neurological disorder characterized by childhood-onset severe myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures and early-onset ataxia leading to severe gait disturbances associated with normal to slightly diminished cognition. Scoliosis, diffuse muscle atrophy and subcutaneous fat loss, as well as developmental delay, may be associated. Brain MRI may reveal complete agenesis of the corpus callosum, ventriculomegaly, interhemispheric cysts, and simplified gyration (frontally). |
