Epidemiology of progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration in UK children

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 418-428, March 2026.
This study of PIND in UK children was carried out via the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit from 1997 to 2024. It identified six cases of vCJD. 2367 children had other diagnoses explain their deterioration. There were 259 other diseases in the diagnosed group.

A first CLN6 variant case of late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis caused by a homozygous mutation in a boy from China: a case report

BMC Medical Genetics, 2018
Background Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) are lysosomal storage disorders characterized by seizures, motor impairment, and loss of vision. Ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN) gene mutations are the cause, but NCL cases arising from CLN6 mutations have not

Predictors of etiology and drug resistance in children with new‐onset focal seizures

Epilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 123-135, February 2026.
Abstract Objective To examine the clinical features of new‐onset focal seizures in children and investigate clinical associations and predictors of underlying etiology and drug resistance. Methods Data were gathered from The Children's Hospital at Westmead admissions for patients aged 1 month to 18 years who presented with new‐onset focal seizures ...

The specific loss of GnRH-positive neurons from the hypothalamus of sheep with CLN6 neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis occurs without glial activation and has only minor effects on reproduction

Neurobiology of Disease, 2011
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are characterized by progressive neurodegeneration resulting in widespread brain atrophy. Each form is assumed to be the consequence of some universal intracellular event; however, time course ...

Glial activation spreads from specific cerebral foci and precedes neurodegeneration in presymptomatic ovine neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN6)

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are fatal inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by gross brain atrophy, blindness, and intracellular accumulation of lysosome-derived storage bodies.

“Atypical” Phenotypes of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis: The Argentine Experience in the Genomic Era

Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2021
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) refers to a group of inherited lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the intracellular accumulation of ceroid-lipofuscin compounds and neurodegeneration.

First Reported Case of CLN5 Disease in Japan: Identification of a Novel Homozygous Pathogenic Variant Through Whole Genome Sequencing

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) belong to a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by psychomotor regression, seizures, and visual impairment, resulting from intracellular accumulation of lipofuscin. CLN5, a subtype typically manifesting between ages 4 to 17, is particularly rare in non‐Finnish populations.

Gene expression profiling in vLINCL CLN6-deficient fibroblasts: Insights into pathobiology

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2006
The CLN6 vLINCL is caused by molecular defects in CLN6 gene coding for an ER resident transmembrane protein whose function is unknown. In the present study gene expression profiling of CLN6-deficient fibroblasts using cDNA microarray was undertaken in order to provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying this neurodegenerative fatal ...

Flupirtine derivatives as potential treatment for the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2018
Objective Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCL) are fatal inherited neurodegenerative diseases with established neuronal cell death and increased ceramide levels in brain, hence, a need for disease‐modifying drug candidates, with potential to enhance ...

The Roles of MicroRNAs, Oncogenes, and Tumor Suppressor Gene Molecular Subtypes of Breast Cancer: Therapeutic Potential of Pharmaceutical and Natural Products

International Journal of Breast Cancer, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women, with 2.3 million new cases and over 670,000 deaths annually. Despite advances in detection and therapy, relapse, metastasis, and resistance remain significant challenges. Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) regulate abnormal cell division, whereas oncogenes, which arise from proto ...
