Abstract excerpt
Late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) and juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) are inherited neurodegenerative diseases caused by mutations in the genes encoding lysosomal proteins tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) and CLN3 protein, respectively. TPP1 is well-understood and, aided by animal models that accurately recapitulate the human disease, enzyme replacement therapy has been approved...
