Abstract excerpt
The infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL; CLN1) is the earliest onset form of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL), a group of progressive encephalopathies of children. INCL is caused by mutations in the palmitoyl protein thioesterase (PPT) gene, and we report here eight novel INCL mutations in PPT. Five of the mutations, c.456C>A, c.162-163insA, c.174-175delG, c.774-775insA, and a splice...
