Identification of CLN6 as a molecular entity of endoplasmic reticulum-driven anti-aggregate activity

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2017
αB-crystallin (αBC) is a small heat shock protein. Mutations in the αBC gene are linked to α-crystallinopathy, a hereditary myopathy histologically characterized by intracellular accumulation of protein aggregates. The disease-causing R120G αBC mutant, harboring an arginine-to-glycine replacement at position 120, is an aggregate-prone protein.

Metabolomic investigation of CLN6 neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis in affected South Hampshire sheep [PDF]

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2007
AbstractThe neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs; Batten disease) are a group of fatal inherited neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals distinguished by a common clinical pathology, characteristic storage body accumulation in cells, and gross brain atrophy.

Prevention of Photoreceptor Cell Loss in a Cln6 Mouse Model of Batten Disease Requires CLN6 Gene Transfer to Bipolar Cells [PDF]

Molecular Therapy, 2018
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are inherited lysosomal storage disorders characterized by general neurodegeneration and premature death. Sight loss is also a major symptom in NCLs, severely affecting the quality of life of patients, but it is not targeted effectively by brain-directed therapies.

Location and connectivity determine GABAergic interneuron survival in the brains of South Hampshire sheep with CLN6 neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

Neurobiology of Disease, 2008
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are fatal inherited neurodegenerative diseases. Sheep affected with the CLN6 form provide a valuable model to investigate underlying disease mechanisms from preclinical stages.

CLN6 disease caused by the same mutation originating in Pakistan has varying pathology

European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2013
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), the most common neurodegenerative diseases in children, are characterised by storage of autofluorescent material that has a characteristic ultrastructure. We report two families with variant late infantile NCL, both originating from Pakistan. Probands from both families were homozygous for the same mutation (c.

Age at onset and gene variants predict lifespan and disease duration in childhood neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. [PDF]

Dev Med Child Neurol
This original article is commented on by Mole on pages 156–157 of this issue. Abstract Aim To address disease progression in a cohort of patients with childhood‐onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), a group of genetic disorders leading to progressive dementia. Method In this retrospective study, selected clinical features (age at onset, at death,

RNA-Seq of Cultured Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes Improves Identification of Cryptic Splicing Defects in Rare Disease Diagnostics. [PDF]

Hum Mutat
Accurate identification of the genetic determinants of rare diseases is essential for effective recurrence‐risk management and informed reproductive decision‐making. Although whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) have significantly improved diagnostic capabilities, a subset of affected families still receives no definitive ...

Proteomics Insights Into Lysosome Biogenesis and Maturation. [PDF]

Proteomics
ABSTRACT Lysosomes constitute the main degradative organelle of most eukaryotic cells and are capable of breaking down a wide spectrum of biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, glycans, and DNA/RNA. They play crucial roles in the regulation of cellular homeostasis, acting as metabolic signaling centers for the correlation of nutrient availability ...

CLN6 Variant of Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Caused by a Homozygous Mutation: Case Report in Colombia [PDF]

Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2023
Introduction: Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorders group. We report the first case in Colombia involving a new genetically confirmed variant of a homozygous CLN6 mutation.

CLN6’s luminal tail-mediated functional interference between CLN6 mutants as a novel pathomechanism for the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses

Biomedical Research, 2021
CLN6 (Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, Neuronal, 6) is a 311-amino acid protein spanning the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Mutations in CLN6 are linked to CLN6 disease, a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder categorized into the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses.
