A rare, genetic, neurological disorder characterized by childhood to adolescent onset of progressive myoclonus (which becomes very severe and results in major motor impediment) associated with infrequent tonic-clonic seizures, and, occasionally, ataxia. Learning disability prior to seizure onset and mild cognitive decline may be associated.
