A mouse model for Finnish variant late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, CLN5, reveals neuropathology associated with early aging
30 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) comprise the most common group of childhood encephalopathies caused by mutations in eight genetic loci, CLN1-CLN8. Here, we have developed a novel mouse model for the human vLINCL (CLN5) by targeted deletion of exon 3 of the mouse Cln5 gene. The Cln5-/- mice showed loss of vision and accumulation of autofluorescent storage material in the central nervous system (CNS) and...
