The first case of association between familial Thomsen myotonia and epilepsy has been presented very recently, with the description of one individual belonging to a two-generation family suffering from ClC-1-linked myotonia, who experienced epileptic seizures due to limbic encephalitis with antibodies against glutamate decarboxylase (Licchetta et al., 2014). Here, CLCN1 is linked to Myotonia.
