Abstract excerpt
Infantile (INCL, NCL1) and late-infantile (LINCL, NCL2) neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses have been found to result from genetic deficiency of genes CLN(1 ) and CLN(2), respectively. The application of molecular analyses can facilitate prenatal diagnosis for families affected by NCL1 or NCL2, in which the familial mutation(s) have been identified. Molecular testing with allele-specific primer extension and DNA...
