Description : The action myoclonus-renal failure syndrome is an autosomal recessive progressive
myoclonic epilepsy associated with renal failure. Cognitive function is preserved
(Badhwar et al., 2004). Some patients do not develop renal failure (Dibbens et al.,
2009). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of progressive myoclonic epilepsy,
see EPM1A (254800).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the scavenger receptor class B, member 2 gene (SCARB2, 602257.0001);
