Abstract excerpt
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders with typical autofluorescence material stored in tissues. Ten clinical NCL forms and eight causative genes are known. Mutations in CLN6 have been reported in roughly 30 patients, mostly in association with the variant late-infantile NCL (v-LINCL) phenotype. We screened CLN6 in 30 children from a cohort of 53 v-LINCL cases and...
