PRICKLE1-related progressive myoclonus epilepsy with ataxia is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by myoclonic epilepsy and ataxia.

Signs and symptoms[edit]

Ataxia is usually one of the first symptoms of this disorder, followed by early/mid childhood-onset myoclonus, which can lead to dysarthria, and mid/late childhood-onset epilepsy. It is more common for the epileptic grand-mal seizures to begin at night. This is one of few genetic disorders which do not affect the intellect of the person afflicted by it.[1]

Causes[edit]

As its name suggests, this disorder is caused by mutations (usually a point one) of the PRICKLE1 gene, in chromosome 12. This gene produces a protein called "prickle homolog 1" which is thought (but not certainly known) to be essential in brain development.[2] These mutations are inherited either by autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant inheritance.[citation needed]

Treatment[edit]

This condition is usually managed with occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy, anti-seizure medications, and adaptive devices.[3]

Epidemiology[edit]

According to OMIM, only 17 cases from families in the Middle East and Western Asia[4] (more specifically, Saudi Arabia and Jordan).[5][6][7]
