Mutated genes in juvenile and variant late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses encode lysosomal proteins.

Abstract excerpt

Positional cloning efforts of genes mutated in Batten disease and in the Finnish type of variant late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis resulted in the identification of two novel genes, CLN3 and CLN5, and corresponding gene products that proved to be residents of lysosomes. Although the clinical phenotype of these NCL subtypes differs in the age of onset, average life span and EEG findings, the major...
