Kufs disease due to mutation ofCLN6: clinical, pathological and molecular genetic features [PDF]

Brain, 2018
Kufs disease is the major adult form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, but is rare and difficult to diagnose. Diagnosis was traditionally dependent on the demonstration of characteristic storage material, but distinction from normal age-related accumulation of lipofuscin can be challenging.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Deciphering Freezing of Gait: What Neuropathology Reveals About an Episodic Phenomenon

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 12, June 2026.
Freezing of gait (FoG) occurs across Parkinson's disease, multiple neurodegenerative conditions and non‐neurodegenerative disorders. This review synthesizes the structural, neurochemical and proteinopathic substrates underlying FoG, showing how cumulative damage to distributed locomotor circuits—compounded by overlapping pathologies—progressively ...

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Neurophysiological Findings in Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive cerebral atrophy due to lysosomal storage disorder. Common clinical features include epileptic seizures, progressive cognitive and

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

Journal 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

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
