CSTB: from cell to population and back

Cystatin B (CSTB) gene mutations cause Unverricht–Lundborg disease (ULD, EPM1, OMIM #254800), a rare form of myoclonic epilepsy. In this work, we aimed at investigating this rare disease by first analyzing the patient results, then examining the population through a population screening and, finally...

Description
Summary:Cystatin B (CSTB) gene mutations cause Unverricht–Lundborg disease (ULD, EPM1, OMIM #254800), a rare form of myoclonic epilepsy. In this work, we aimed at investigating this rare disease by first analyzing the patient results, then examining the population through a population screening and, finally, exploring the cellular phenotype in order to assess the involvement of lysosomes.
