MR‐Guidance of Gene Therapy for Brain Diseases: Moving From Palliative Treatment to Cures
ABSTRACT Regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe recently approved a gene therapy for aromatic L‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency, a rare neurologic disorder where a genetic mutation prevents dopamine production in the brain. Affected children fail to develop normal motor and cognitive functions.

Mutation update: Review of TPP1 gene variants associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis CLN2 disease [PDF]
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2 disease) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by variants in the TPP1 gene, leading to deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP1). We update on the spectrum of TPP1 variants

CLN2 Batten disease (BD) is one of a broad class of lysosomal storage disorders that is characterized by the deficiency of lysosomal enzyme, TPP1, resulting in a build-up of toxic intracellular storage material in all organs and subsequent damage.

Abstract The accurate interpretation of scalp EEG remains an instrumental diagnostic component of epilepsy care. Knowledge of what constitutes normal EEG findings, non‐epileptiform abnormalities, and epileptiform patterns—both ictal and interictal—is essential for appropriate patient management.

ABSTRACT Proteomics of laser‐dissected lipofuscin from aged, healthy brains reveals Palmitoyl‐Protein Thioesterase 1 (PPT1) and other CLN proteins as constituents. PPT1 is increasingly sequestered to lipofuscin during ageing. Protein sequestering into lipofuscin may contribute to physiological neuronal ageing.

Analysis of CLN1 and CLN2 expression in the cln3 bck2 stb1 and cln3 bck2 whi5 strains.
qPCR was used to measure the expression of CLN1 and CLN2 in two of the suppressor strains. The parental strain is cln3 bck2 rme1 {MET-CLN2} (N497), and the two suppressor strains have, in addition, stb1 (N451) or whi5 (N499), as indicated.

Cerliponase alfa is an orphan drug approved for the treatment of late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2). Our goal was to assess the cost-effectiveness of cerliponase alfa in patients with CLN2 in the socioeconomic context of the ...

Activation of CLN1 and CLN2 G1 cyclin gene expression by BCK2 [PDF]
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae CLN3 protein, a G1 cyclin, positively regulates the expression of CLN1 and CLN2, two additional G1 cyclins whose expression during late G1 is activated, in part, by the transcription factors SWI4 and SWI6.

Although a disease-modifying therapy for classic late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN2 disease) exists, poor understanding of cellular pathophysiology has hampered the development of more effective and persistent therapies.
