Autosomal Dominant Adult Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis: a Novel Form of NCL with Granular Osmiophilic Deposits without Palmitoyl Protein Thioesterase 1 Deficiency
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
We describe the neuropathological and biochemical autopsy findings in 3 patients with autosomal dominant adult neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (ANCL, Parry type; MIM 162350), from a family with 6 affected individuals in 3 generations. Throughout the brain of these patients, there was abundant intraneuronal lysosomal storage of autofluorescent lipopigment granules. Striking loss of neurons in the substantia nigra...
