Benign adult familial myoclonic epilepsy (BAFME) is an autosomal disorder characterized by adult-onset cortical tremor and generalized seizures. Using whole genome sequencing, Yeetong et al. identify the causative mutation for type 4 of the disorder (BAFME4), providing insights into the underlying pathogenesis.
