A Novel Mutation in KCDT7 Gene in an Indian Girl With Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy.

The progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) is a rare group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by myoclonus, drug refractory epilepsy, and neurological deterioration. Here, we report a three-year-old female patient with neuroregression after a period of normal development and uncontrollable myoclonic seizures, which fulfill the criteria of PME. Next-generation sequencing revealed a novel homozygous mutation of variant c.
