Abstract
Our study demonstrated the existence of distinct or more severe cognitive and psychiatric profiles in a subset of patients with JME. Patients with treatment-refractory seizures seem to present a broader impairment related to both cognitive deficits and impulsive traits. These findings suggest that patients with JME are not equally compromised by executive and memory deficits or dysfunction, neither by their impulsive traits. Thus, there is a need for a better characterization of patients with JME to include diverse phenotypes since our results suggest a possible existence of distinct groups of patients with JME.
