Identical genetic locus for Baltic and Mediterranean myoclonus.
Genetic linkage analysis shows that Baltic and Mediterranean myoclonus, two forms of progressive myoclonus epilepsy, are closely linked to marker D21S113 on the long arm of chromosome 21. Baltic and Mediterranean myoclonus are most probably due to mutations of the same gene.
