Abstract excerpt
Major advances in the molecular genetic analysis of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) have recently been made: the genes for two major types have been identified and the chromosomal location for a third defined. CLN1, the gene for infantile NCL (Santavuori-Haltia disease) encodes palmitoyl protein thioesterase (PPT). Most patients (75% of disease chromosomes) have the same point mutation. In contrast,...
