Background And Purpose: Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD) is a common type of progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME). It is caused mostly by biallelic dodecamer repeat expansions in the promoter region of CSTB gene. Despite highly prevalent in the Mediterranean countries, no studies have been reported from Egypt.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Riyad Gouider"

  • - Riyad Gouider's recent research focuses on the clinical and molecular characterization of Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD) in Egyptian patients, addressing a gap in the literature regarding this common type of progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) in the region.
  • - The study highlights the genetic basis of ULD, which is primarily linked to biallelic dodecamer repeat expansions in the promoter region of the CSTB gene, emphasizing its relevance for understanding the disease's etiology.
  • - Published in "Epilepsy Research" in October 2021, Gouider's work aims to raise awareness and improve diagnosis and management strategies for ULD in Egypt, where the condition is significantly prevalent but under-researched.
