<unk>  Myoclonic Epilepsies <unk>  are a rare group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by<unk> , resistance to treatment, and neurological deterioration. The cause of<unk>  depends largely on the type of<unk> . Most<unk> s are caused by autosomal dominant or recessive and mitochondrial mutations. The location of the mutation also affects the inheritance and treatment of<unk> . Diagnosing<unk>  is difficult due to their genetic heterogeneity and the lack of a genetic mutation identified in some patients. The prognosis depends largely on the worsening symptoms and failure to respond to treatment. There is no current cure for<unk>  and treatment focuses on managing<unk>  and seizures through antiepileptic medication (AED). The age of onset depends on the specific<unk>  but<unk>  can affect people of all ages. In Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD) the age of onset is between 6–15 years, while in Adult Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (Adult NCL) the age of onset can be as late as 30. Symptoms often include action or stimuli induced<unk> , seizures, neuropathy, cognitive decline, and spike and wave or no cerebral discharges. The prognosis of those diagnosed with<unk>  is poor, the person often becomes wheelchair bound, enters a vegetative state due to<unk> , and has shortened life expectancy.
