Scope note: Afección autosómica recesiva que se caracteriza por convulsiones mioclónicas y generalizadas recurrentes, ATAXIA, deterioro intelectual lentamente progresivo, disartria, y temblor intencional. Las convulsiones mioclónicas son continuas e intensas, y tienden a desencadenarse por movimientos, estrés, y estímulos sensoriales. La edad de comienzo es entre 8 y 13 años, y la afección es relativamente frecuente en la región del Báltico, especialmente en Finlandia. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp109-110)

Scope note: An autosomal recessive condition characterized by recurrent myoclonic and generalized seizures, ATAXIA, slowly progressive intellectual deterioration, DYSARTHRIA, and intention tremor. Myoclonic seizures are severe and continuous, and tend to be triggered by movement, stress, and sensory stimuli. The age of onset is between 8 and 13 years, and the condition is relatively frequent in the Baltic region, especially Finland. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp109-110)
