18 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the CLN3 gene lead to juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, a pediatric neurodegenerative disorder characterized by visual loss, epilepsy and psychomotor deterioration. Although most CLN3 patients carry the same 1-kb deletion in the CLN3 gene, their disease phenotype can be variable. The aims of this study were to (i) study the clinical phenotype in CLN3 patients with identical genotype, (ii)...
