Abstract excerpt
Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal tripeptidyl peptidase-I encoded by CLN2. We previously detected in two LINCL patients a homozygous missense mutation, p.Asn286Ser, that affects a potential N-glycosylation site. We introduced the p.Asn286Ser mutation into the wild-type CLN2 cDNA and performed transient expression analysis to determine the effect on...
