History of familial adult myoclonus epilepsy/benign adult familial myoclonic epilepsy around the world

Samuel F. Berkovic, Pasquale Striano, Shoji Tsuji

doi : 10.1111/epi.17519

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy/benign adult familial myoclonic epilepsy (FAME/BAFME) has emerged as a specific and recognizable epilepsy syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance found around the world.

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy: Clinical findings, disease course, and comorbidities

Beatriz G. Giraldez, José M. Serratosa, Salvatore Striano, Akio Ikeda, Pasquale Striano, Antonietta Coppola

doi : 10.1111/epi.17595

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by the association of myoclonic tremor and epilepsy mainly with onset in adulthood. The clinical course is non-progressive or slowly progressive, as epilepsy is commonly controlled with appropriate antiseizure medication and individuals have a normal life expectancy.

Genetics of familial adult myoclonus epilepsy: From linkage studies to noncoding repeat expansions

Mark A. Corbett, Christel Depienne, Liana Veneziano, Karl Martin Klein, Francesco Brancati, Renzo Guerrini, Federico Zara, Shoji Tsuji, Jozef Gecz

doi : 10.1111/epi.17610

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) is a genetic epilepsy syndrome that for many years has resisted understanding of its underlying molecular cause. This review covers the history of FAME genetic studies worldwide, starting with linkage and culminating in the discovery of noncoding TTTTA and inserted TTTCA pentanucleotide repeat expansions within six different genes to date (SAMD12, STARD7, MARCHF6, YEATS2, TNRC6A, and RAPGEF2).

Pentanucleotide repeat-related disorders: Genetics and bioinformatic discovery and detection

Isabel Silveira, Mark F. Bennett

doi : 10.1111/epi.17593

In recent years, a large group of familial epilepsies and hereditary ataxias have emerged, caused by an extraordinary type of a novel pentanucleotide repeat expansion that has arisen in a preexisting nonpathogenic repeat tract.

Insights into familial adult myoclonus epilepsy pathogenesis: How the same repeat expansion in six unrelated genes may lead to cortical excitability

Christel Depienne, Arn M. J. M. van den Maagdenberg, Theresa Kühnel, Hiroyuki Ishiura, Mark A. Corbett, Shoji Tsuji

doi : 10.1111/epi.17504

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) results from the same pathogenic TTTTA/TTTCA pentanucleotide repeat expansion in six distinct genes encoding proteins with different subcellular localizations and very different functions, which poses the issue of what causes the neurobiological disturbances that lead to the clinical phenotype.

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy: Neurophysiological investigations

Raffaele Dubbioso, Antonio Suppa, Marina A. J. Tijssen, Akio Ikeda

doi : 10.1111/epi.17553

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) also described as benign adult familial myoclonus epilepsy (BAFME) is a high-penetrant autosomal dominant condition featuring cortical myoclonus of varying frequency and occasional/rare convulsive seizures.

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy: Neuroimaging and neuropathological findings

Anne-Fleur van Rootselaar, Sirio Cocozza, Eleonora Aronica, Pasquale Striano

doi : 10.1111/epi.17628

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) is characterized by cortical myoclonus and often epileptic seizures, but the pathophysiology of this condition remains uncertain. Here, we review the neuroimaging and neuropathological findings in FAME.

Differential diagnosis of familial adult myoclonic epilepsy

Betul Baykan, Silvana Franceschetti, Laura Canafoglia, Gianpiero L. Cavalleri, Roberto Michelucci, Ingrid E. Scheffer

doi : 10.1111/epi.17536

Familial adult myoclonic epilepsy (FAME) is an under-recognized disorder characterized by cortical myoclonus, generalized tonic–clonic seizures, and additional clinical symptoms, which vary depending on the FAME subtype. FAME is caused by pentanucleotide repeat expansions of intronic TTTCA/TTTTA in different genes. FAME should be distinguished from a range of differential diagnoses.

Current treatment options for familial adult myoclonus epilepsy

Antonietta Coppola, Raffaele Dubbioso, Claudia Cuccurullo, Laura Licchetta, Mar Carreno, Edouard Hirsch, Leonilda Bilo

doi : 10.1111/epi.17590

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) is a genetic condition characterized by the occurrence of cortical tremor, myoclonus, and epilepsy. To date, there is neither a curative nor a preventive treatment for FAME.
