1 Q5JVL4 EF-hand domain-containing protein 1 640"DISEASE: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy 1 (EJM1) [MIM:254770]: A subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
Patients have afebrile seizures only, with onset in adolescence (rather than in childhood) and myoclonic jerks which usually occur after awakening and are triggered by sleep deprivation and fatigue.
Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Juvenile absence epilepsy 1 (JAE1) [MIM:607631]: A subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy characterized by onset occurring around puberty, absence seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS), GTCS on awakening, and myoclonic seizures.
Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Note=Mutation Leu-229 may be a cause of intractable epilepsy of infancy.
Affected individuals have seizures of multiple type, manifested as tonic, clonic, and myoclonic seizures in the neonatal period, and as tonic seizures activated frequently by sleep, and repeated frequent myoclonic seizures in later infancy.
The seizures are unresponsive to numerous antiepileptic drugs, and infants die in the first years of life.
Although heterozygosity for Leu-229 has been associated with relatively benign forms of epilepsy in adolescence, homozygosity for the same mutation has much more severe consequences".
