Unverricht-Lundborg disease (EPM1) is the most common form of progressive myoclonus epilepsies. The genetic background is a homozygous dodecamer repeat extension mutation in the cystatin B (CSTB) gene. However, mutations occurring in a compound heterozygous form with the expansion mutation have also been reported. In Finland, we have found five EPM1 patients compound heterozygous for the dodecamer repeat expansion and the c.202C>T mutation in the CSTB gene (chEPM1). There are no previous clinical or neurophysiological studies on these patients. Thus, we aimed to characterize possible functional alterations in primary motor cortical areas.
