| Remarks |
Seizure disorders at age 12; bedridden by age 17; ataxia & myoclonus; abnormal electroencephalogram with diffuse slowing & bursts of spikes & spike-waves; muscle bx in similarly aff older brother was positive for Lafora body epilepsy; donor subject is homozygous for a C>A transversion at nucleotide 386 of the NHLRC1 (EPM2B) gene (386C>A) resulting in the substitution of histidine for proline at codon 129 [Pro129His (P129H)] |
