Talk:Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy

note

Would the monitor of this page mind if I edited it to bring the clinical and EEG findings up to the foreground and place the genetic findings win the proper context?

Redirect issue

Juvenile absence epilepsy redirects to this page, it should not. A better redirect would be to "absence seizures"...Does anyone else agree that this is reasonable? Thanks Aglo123 (talk) 15:48, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

It's five years later but I have now made this change. --Mgp28 (talk) 23:43, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

note

my name is Nicola Maggio and I am an epileptologist. Would the authors/monitors of this page mind if I'll revise this page by improving the information in the various sections as well as give some more accurate info on genes involved? I aim as well to improve info on therapy and update bibliography. Please, give me your ok, so I can start working. Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NicolaMaggio (talk • contribs) 11:51, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

NicolaMaggio — Go ahead, you don't need any "ok" to start working. If you do good work it will be accepted. Carl Fredrik ^talk 10:52, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

English?

"The impairment in frontal lobe executive function has been find out in the patient with JME" doesn't sound right to me but as it's possibly medical jargon I don't know. Roger Bunting (talk) 21:59, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Cause / genetics

The cause section seems to suggest most cases are due to multiple interactions of genes with small effects while a few have a more classical autosomal dominant inheritance. The genetics section lists specific genes and talks specifically about GABA receptors. Could someone make it clear whether these genes listed are some of the multiple interacting genes or if these are the autosomal dominant ones please?

Also, EFHC1 states that that gene is not associated with epilepsy. Both pages have a citation to support their statement so I'm not going to take a side, but it would be nice to have consistency across the articles.

Thanks --Mgp28 (talk) 17:57, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

HI

I am iyad alarab I am a student at Uskudar University Turkey I am making adjustments under the supervision of the professor Iyad alarab (talk) 10:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Iyad alarab: It's great to see this article getting some attention and I hope you're also gaining something from editing here.

I just wanted to comment on this edit. This section was about the history of discovering / describing juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Your edit is more about the clinical history of someone getting symptoms of the disease. It might be better suited to the Epidemiology and Signs and symptoms sections.

You should also beware of close paraphrasing. Every sentence you added maps to a consecutive sentence in the History and Physical section here. Mgp28 (talk) 12:07, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

PS - Did you try to cite the review by Chaitanya Amrutkar and Rosario M. Riel-Romero? You've cited a paper about treatments that doesn't seem like it would be what you intended. Mgp28 (talk) 12:21, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

@Iyad alarab: I have restored the original History section and moved text you added to other sections that already discussed similar subjects with references to the StatsPearls book. Does that look OK? Sorry we had a bumpy start here. Hope you'll keep editing. Mgp28 (talk) 17:19, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
