Novel frameshift CTSF mutation causing kufs disease type B mimicking frontotemporal dementia-parkinsonism.

Abstract excerpt

Adult-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (ANCLs, Kufs disease-KD) are rare, inherited, progressive, neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage diseases. Mutations in cathepsin F (CTSF) were linked to KD type B. Conversely, Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common type of presenile dementia and Parkinsonism is a mostly common accompanying feature. Due to pronounced behavioral, cognitive, and motor...
