Researh groups from the University of Helsinki, the LMU Munich and the University of Guelph have described in collaboration a novel myoclonic epilepsy in dogs and identified its genetic cause. The ...
A collaborative study describes a novel myoclonic epilepsy syndrome in dogs for the first time and discovers its genetic cause at DIRAS1 gene. The affected dogs developed myoclonic seizures at young ...
A new epilepsy gene, LGI2, has been found in the Lagotto Romagnolo dogs, known from their gift for truffle hunting. The gene discovery made by Professor Hannes Lohi and his research group at the ...
In juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, data are limited on the genetic basis of networks promoting convulsions with diffuse polyspikes on electroencephalography (EEG) and the subtle microscopic brain ...
A recent report has described the use of video-electroencephalography (video-EEG) in the management of patients with atypical juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). The work highlights the importance of ...
A gene that causes a rare but severe form of epilepsy in people is also found in highly bred dogs, which could lead to new ways to treat the condition, an international team of researchers report.
