CLN3 deficiency leads to neurological and metabolic perturbations during early development

open access: yesLife Science Alliance
Cln3 CRISPR mutant zebrafish larvae display BMP depletion and accumulation of glycerophosphodiesters and cholesteryl esters at very early developmental stages, recapitulating key features of human CLN3 disease. Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (or

The Effect of Protein Tagging on Aggregation and Phase Separation

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Biochemistry, Volume 127, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Protein tags are widely used for purification, solubilization, detection, and imaging, yet they can substantially alter protein self‐assembly. This interference is particularly significant for intrinsically disordered proteins and low‐complexity domains, whose aggregation and phase separation are mediated by weak multivalent interactions that ...

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 ...

Expert‐Designed Fact Sheets and AI‐Based Analysis of Patient Symptoms to Combat Diagnostic Delays in Inherited Metabolic Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The importance of early diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) is well known, as it allows early intervention to prevent or reduce complications and improve prognosis, since many of these disorders are treatable. However, diagnosis can still be delayed, and many patients remain undiagnosed. Reducing diagnosis delays is a primary goal

Genetic studies in Drosophila and humans support a model for the concerted function of CISD2, PPT1 and CLN3 in disease

open access: yesBiology Open, 2014
Wolfram syndrome (WFS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness. WFS1 and WFS2 are caused by recessive mutations in the genes Wolfram Syndrome 1 (WFS1) and CDGSH iron ...

The c.1A > C start codon mutation in CLN3 is associated with a protracted disease course

open access: yesJIMD Reports, 2020
Background CLN3 disease is a disorder of lysosomal homeostasis predominantly affecting the retina and the brain. The severity of the underlying mutations in CLN3 particularly determines onset and course of neurological deterioration.

Top-down and bottom-up propagation of disease in the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundThe Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCLs) may be considered distinct neurodegenerative disorders with separate underlying molecular causes resulting from monogenetic mutations.

Organoids for Metabolic Disease Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are a diverse group of rare genetic disorders that disrupt metabolic pathways, leading to severe clinical manifestations. Disease models ranging from complex animal models to simple in vitro systems have provided insights into IMDs, but each has limitations.

Batten disease: evaluation of CLN3 mutations on protein localization and function [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2000
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL), Batten disease, is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease associated with mutations in CLN3. CLN3 has no known homology to other proteins and a function has not yet been described. The predominant mutation in CLN3 is a 1.02 kb genomic deletion that accounts for nearly 85% of the disease alleles.

TRPML1 activation ameliorates lysosomal phenotypes in CLN3 deficient retinal pigment epithelial cells

open access: yesScientific Reports
Mutations in the lysosomal membrane protein CLN3 cause Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL). Activation of the lysosomal ion channel TRPML1 has previously been shown to be beneficial in several neurodegenerative disease models.
