(2007) reported a family from southern India in which 8 individuals had juvenile myoclonic epilepsy inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. The proband was a 32-year-old woman who developed morning myoclonic jerks at age 14 years and generalized tonic-clonic seizures at age 20. EEG recordings showed polyspike and wave discharges characteristic of a generalized epilepsy. Other affected members had a similar history. None had absence or febrile seizures. Response to medication was good.
