Abstract excerpt
We sought to identify the molecular basis of the autosomal dominant form of Kufs disease, an adult onset form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. We used a combination of classic linkage analysis and Next Generation Sequencing to map and identify mutations in DNAJC5 in a total of three families. We analyzed the clinical manifestations in 20 individuals with mutation in DNAJC5. We report here the mapping and the...
