Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human protein palmitoyl thioesterase-1 (PPT-1) gene result in an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder designated neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), type CLN1, or infantile NCL. Among the symptoms of the CLN1 disease are accumulation of autofluorescent lysosomal storage bodies in neurons and other cell types, seizures, motor and cognitive decline, blindness, and premature death....
