Informations générales
Generalized Myoclonic Epilepsy with Photosensitivity, also known as Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME), is a neurological disorder found in the Rhodesian Ridgeback. The disorder causes sharp, abrupt involuntary jerking of muscles in affected dogs. The disease is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene DIRAS1.
Caractéristiques cliniques
Myoclonic jerks and twitches start presenting in young affected dogs, anywhere between 6 weeks and 18 months of age. The jerks are severe and can be startling, occurring without any behavioral warning, though they typically occur when the dog is resting or tired. The muscles most affected are those of the upper limbs, trunk, neck and face. Seizures can occur in response to bright or flashing light.
