Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1 – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/150954581

Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD) is the purest and least severe type of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME), and is not associated with progressive cognitive deficit. It evolves towards a stabilization of symptoms in adulthood, with a varying degree of permanent, often severe, handicap that is mostly due to myoclonus.
