GOSR2-related progressive myoclonus ataxia, also known as Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 6 is a rare genetic type of progressive myoclonus ataxia which is characterized by progressive myoclonic epilepsy with an early onset which is associated with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, petit mal seizures, and drop attacks, variable degrees of scoliosis, areflexia, high levels of creatine kinase serum, and late-onset cognitive decline.[1][2]
According to OMIM,[3] only 12 cases have been described in medical literature.[4][5][6] It is caused by autosomal recessive loss of function mutations in the (as the name implies) GOSR2 gene, in chromosome 17.[4]
