" /> Epilepsy, progressive myoclonic, 3, with or without intracellular inclusions - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Epilepsy, progressive myoclonic, 3, with or without intracellular inclusions;

Symbol : EPM3;

CISMeF acronym : CLN14; EPM3;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Ceroid lipofuscinosis, neuronal, 14; CLN14;

Description : Mutations in the KCTD7 gene cause a severe neurodegenerative phenotype characterized by onset of intractable myoclonic seizures before age 2 years and accompanied by developmental regression. The initial description was consistent with a form of progressive myoclonic epilepsy (designated here as EPM3), whereas a later report identified intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent lipopigment storage material, consistent with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (designated CLN14). Ultrastructural findings on skin biopsies thus appear to be variable. However, clinical features are generally consistent between reports (summary by Staropoli et al., 2012). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of progressive myoclonic epilepsy, see EPM1A (254800). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, see CLN1 (256730).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the potassium channel tetramerisation domain containing 7 gene (KCTD7, 611725.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Granular osmiophilic cytoplasmic deposits ultrastructurally in cells; 'Fingerprint profiles' ultrastructurally in cells; 'Rectilinear profiles' ultrastructurally in cells;

Prefixed ID : #611726;
