Abstract excerpt
Eight different NCL forms have been recognized to be encoded by genes CLN1-8. CLN1,2,3,5,and 8 have been cloned, and at least 85 mutations have been detected. Molecular technology can now be applied to genetic testing for NCLs; testing is now available in clinic diagnostic and research laboratories for CLN genes that have been cloned. Molecular genetic testing makes it possible not only to confirm clinical and...
