Kufs disease due to mutation ofCLN6: clinical, pathological and molecular genetic features
17 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Kufs disease is the major adult form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, but is rare and difficult to diagnose. Diagnosis was traditionally dependent on the demonstration of characteristic storage material, but distinction from normal age-related accumulation of lipofuscin can be challenging.
