Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Type 6 (CLN6) clinical findings and molecular diagnosis: Costa Rica’s experience

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Commonly known as Batten disease, the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of rare pediatric lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent material (known ...

Gene Therapy Corrects Brain and Behavioral Pathologies in CLN6-Batten Disease [PDF]

Molecular Therapy, 2019
CLN6-Batten disease, a form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder presenting with gradual declines in motor, visual, and cognitive abilities and early death by 12-15 years of age. We developed a self-complementary adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (scAAV9) vector expressing the human CLN6 gene under the control of a ...

Expanded Phenotype of the Cln6^nclf Mouse Model

Cells
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of autosomal recessive neurogenetic disorders caused by mutations in 14 different genes. CLN6 disease manifests as variant late-infantile NCL (vLINCL) or as an adult variant.

Transmembrane Batten Disease Proteins Interact With a Shared Network of Vesicle Sorting Proteins, Impacting Their Synaptic Enrichment

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Batten disease is unique among lysosomal storage disorders for the early and profound manifestation in the central nervous system, but little is known regarding potential neuron-specific roles for the disease-associated proteins.

Characterization of neuropathology in ovine CLN5 and CLN6 neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (Batten disease)

Developmental Neurobiology, 2023
AbstractSheep with naturally occurring CLN5 and CLN6 forms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (Batten disease) share the key clinical features of the human disease and represent an ideal model system in which the clinical efficacy of gene therapies is developed and test.

Moyamoya and progressive myoclonic epilepsy secondary to CLN6 bi-allelic mutations – A previously unreported association

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2020
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a collection of lysosomal storage diseases characterised by the accumulation of characteristic inclusions containing lipofuscin in various tissues of the body and are one of the causes of progressive myoclonic
