Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / September 2003Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy / Gene test
Hello ! I have heard that JME is an inherited disorder. A friend of mine have JME, but no other relatives have it. Does all people with JME have a defect in chromosom location 15q14 ? Some one who knows if it is posible to use gene tests to verify if a person have JME or not ? Thanks, Gunnar. My wife was diagnosed with JME. Nobody else in her family has a known epilepsy diagnosis.

My mother and I both had myoclonic sz. which were believed to be undiagnosed in childhood, yet present nonetheless. This neuro was probably trying hard to see a family trend. There's no real way of proving that we had JME in the first place as far as I know. Cheryl > My wife was diagnosed with JME. Nobody else in her family has a known > epilepsy diagnosis.
