Cln3 Deltaex7/8 knock-in mice with the common JNCL mutation exhibit progressive neurologic disease that begins before birth

Abstract excerpt

Juvenile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL; Batten disease) features hallmark membrane deposits and loss of central nervous system (CNS) neurons. Most cases of the disease are due to recessive inheritance of an approximately 1 kb deletion in the CLN3 gene, encoding battenin. To investigate the common JNCL mutation, we have introduced an identical genomic DNA deletion into the murine CLN3 homologue (Cln3)...
