Abstract excerpt
Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a fatal hereditary childhood disease. The gene underlying LINCL, CLN2, encodes a lysosomal enzyme, tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP-I), deficiency in which leads to lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent materials accompanied by severe neuronal atrophy. Mutational analysis was conducted to characterize different CLN2 alleles. Two probands of Romany origin...
