Glial cells are functionally impaired in juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and detrimental to neurons

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2017
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs or Batten disease) are a group of inherited, fatal neurodegenerative disorders of childhood. In these disorders, glial (microglial and astrocyte) activation typically occurs early in disease progression and ...

Revealing Molecular Diagnosis With Whole Exome Sequencing in Patients With Inherited Retinal Disorders

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 14-21, July 2025.
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a leading cause of vision loss, with an incidence of 1:2000. In this study of 50 Turkish patients, next‐generation sequencing identified pathogenic variants in 58%, including novel variants in six genes. This research enhances genetic understanding and supports improved diagnostics and treatments for IRDs ...

Spectrum of Mutations in the Batten Disease Gene, CLN3

open access: yesThe American Journal of Human Genetics, 1997
Batten disease (juvenile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis [JNCL]) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by accumulation of lipopigments (lipofuscin and ceroid) in neurons and other cell types. The Batten disease gene, CLN3, was recently isolated, and four disease-causing mutations were identified, including a 1.02-kb deletion that is ...

in vivo localization of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis proteins, CLN3 and CLN7, at endogenous expression levels

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2017
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are a group of recessively inherited, childhood-onset neurodegenerative conditions. Several forms are caused by mutations in genes encoding putative lysosomal membrane proteins.

FGF Signaling Promotes Lysosome Biogenesis in Chondrocytes via the Mannose Phosphate Receptor Pathway

open access: yesTraffic, Volume 26, Issue 7-9, July/September 2025.
FGF signaling regulates lysosomal homeostasis in RCS chondrocytes by inducing TFEB/TFE3 nuclear translocation and activation. This promotes the expression of lysosomal genes and mannose 6‐phosphate receptors, enhancing lysosome biogenesis and lysosomal hydrolases delivery.

FRET-Assisted Determination of CLN3 Membrane Topology

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is caused by mutations in the CLN3 gene, which encodes for a putative lysosomal transmembrane protein with thus far undescribed structure and function. Here we investigate the membrane topology of human CLN3 protein with a combination of advanced molecular cloning, spectroscopy, and in silico computation ...

Molecular mechanisms of the juvenile form of Batten disease: important role of MAPK signaling pathways (ERK1/ERK2, JNK and p38) in pathogenesis of the malady

open access: yesBiology Direct, 2018
Background Mutations in the CLN3 gene lead to so far an incurable juvenile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) or Batten disease that starts at the age of 4–6 years with a progressive retinopathy leading to blindness. Motor disturbances, epilepsy

Visual deficits in a mouse model of Batten disease are the result of optic nerve degeneration and loss of dorsal lateral geniculate thalamic neurons

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2006
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is an autosomal recessive disorder of childhood caused by mutations in CLN3. Although visual deterioration is typically the first clinical sign to manifest in affected children, loss of Cln3 in a mouse model

Targeted Disruption of the Cln3 Gene Provides a Mouse Model for Batten Disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 1999
Batten disease, a degenerative neurological disorder with juvenile onset, is the most common form of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. Mutations in the CLN3 gene cause Batten disease.
