Would the monitor of this page mind if I edited it to include the clinical and EEG characteristics of this disease to the foreground and the genetics within the proper context?

Well, there isn't any particular monitor for this (or any other) page so go ahead and edit whatever you like (that includes the Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy page). I'm not a clinician so I left a lot of the EEG stuff out of these pages when I created them. --Dpryan (talk) 19:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do what you can to expand this. IMO, the detailed table of mutations is not appropriate for Wikipedia or its intended audience. In addition, they are likely to become out-of-date very quickly, which is why we have online databases to collect such things. WP:MEDMOS has some advice for writing about diseases.
