Abstract
We report the case of a 25 yrs old girl with myoclonic epilepsy without progressive course and mental impairment. Skin biopsy showed typical LB. Lysosomal enzymes activity assays revealed low level of ASA and the DNA studies disclosed a homozygous ASA Pd/Pd genotype. Both parents carried one Pd allele. This is the second case reported with the link between low level of ASA activity and myoclonic epilepsy with LB.
