Abstract excerpt
Progressive epilepsy with mental retardation (EPMR) is a new member of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The CLN8 gene underlying EPMR was recently identified. It encodes a novel 286 amino acid transmembrane protein that contains an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-retrieval signal (KKRP) in its C-terminus. A homozygous mutation in the orthologous mouse gene (Cln8) underlies the phenotype of a naturally...
