Abstract excerpt
The infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) has been well studied in Finland, where there is a high carrier frequency (1:70) for a single mutation in the causative gene, CLN1, or PPT. We have recently studied a group of 29 NCL subjects in the United States with palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (PPT) deficiency and described 19 different CLN1/PPT mutations in our population. In this report, we present...
