Abstract excerpt
Infantile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (CLN1) is the form of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (NCL) with the earliest onset of symptoms. The locus of the most common form of these disorders, juvenile NCL (CLN3), has been mapped to chromosome 16. We report here linkage data of the same region in Finnish CLN1 families. Our results indicate that CLN1 is not allelic with CLN3 but represents a different locus, which...
