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

open access: yesEuropean 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

open access: yesPregnancy, 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

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

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

open access: yesBrain, 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.

Pro-cathepsin D prevents aberrant protein aggregation dependent on endoplasmic reticulum protein CLN6.

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism
We previously expressed a chimeric protein in which the small heat-shock protein αB-crystallin (αBC) is fused at its N-terminus to the C-terminus of the first transmembrane segment of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein mitsugumin 23 and confirmed its

Neurophysiological Findings in Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Epidemiology of progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration in UK children

open access: yesDevelopmental 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 CLN6-CLN8 complex recruits lysosomal enzymes at the ER for Golgi transfer

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
Lysosomal enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transferred to the Golgi complex by interaction with the Batten disease protein CLN8.

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

open access: yesBMC 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

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses in children

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2021
Background: The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) constitute a group of gray matter neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of ceroid lipopigment in lysosomes in neurons and other cell types.
