Abstract excerpt
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is an autosomal recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorder that results from mutations in the CLN3 gene. JNCL is characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent lysosomal storage bodies, vision loss, seizures, progressive cognitive and motor decline, and premature death. Studies were undertaken to characterize the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis phenotype in a...
