Abstract
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of ceroid lipopigment in lysosomes in various tissues and organs. The childhood forms of the NCLs represent the most common neurogenetic disorders of childhood and are inherited in an autosomal-recessive mode. The adult form of NCL is rare and shows either an autosomal-recessive or autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Currently, five genes associated with various childhood forms of NCLs, designated CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN5, and CLN8, have been isolated and characterized. Two of these genes, CLN1 and CLN2, encode lysosomal enzymes: palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) and tripetidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), respectively. CLN3, CLN5, and CLN8 encode proteins of predicted transmembrane topology, whose function has not been characterized yet. Two other genes, CLN6 and CLN7, have been assigned recently to small chromosomal regions. Gene(s) associated with the adult form of NCLs (CLN4) are at present unknown. This study summarizes the current classification and new diagnostic criteria of NCLs based on clinicopathological, biochemical, and molecular genetic data. Material includes 159 probands with NCL (37 CLNI, 72 classical CLN2, 10...Continue Reading
