CLN6, which is associated with a lysosomal storage disease, is an endoplasmic reticulum protein
Experimental Cell Research, 2004The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are severe inherited neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. In this disease, lysosomes accumulate autofluorescent storage material and there is death of neurons. Five types of NCL are caused by mutations in lysosomal proteins (CTSD, CLN1/PPT1, CLN2/TTPI, CLN3 and CLN5), and one type is caused by ...

Variant late infantile ceroid lipofuscinoses associated with novel mutations in CLN6
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders with typical autofluorescence material stored in tissues. Ten clinical NCL forms and eight causative genes are known. Mutations in CLN6 have been reported in roughly 30 patients, mostly in association with the variant late-infantile NCL (v-LINCL) phenotype.

Modeling CLN6 with IPSC-derived neural cells
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2019Neuronal ceroid lipofuscionosis type 6 (CLN6) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with dementia, seizures, and retinopathy. The disorder is due to mutations in the CLN6 gene encoding a resident ER transmembrane protein of unknown function. Similar to other NCLs, the cellular pathology associated with CLN6 includes the abnormal accumulation of ...

Fine mapping of ovine ceroid lipofuscinosisconfirms orthology with CLN6
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2001The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are lysosomal storage diseases with severe neurodegenerative pathology. An ovine model (OCL) has well defined parallels with the human disease at a biochemical and pathological level. The gene for OCL is located in the chromosomal region OAR 7q13-15. This region is syntenic with HSA 15q21-23 suggesting that OCL

Progress toward the Cloning of CLN6, the Gene Underlying a Variant LINCL
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 1999Marked clinical heterogeneity is seen in the late-infantile subtype of NCL (LINCL), complicating genetic analysis. In addition to the classical subtype, encoded by CLN2 on chromosome 11p15.5, several variant subtypes have also been described. In this paper, we report our progress in cloning a variant LINCL gene mapped in a small group of Costa Rican ...

Mutation of the CLN6 Gene in Teenage-Onset Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy
Pediatric Neurology, 2012Progressive myoclonus epilepsies are severe, intractable, and neurodegenerative. They afflict patients of all ages, but more commonly adolescents, and comprise the main differential diagnosis of common juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Genetic or minimally invasive pathologic diagnoses are available for many but not all teenage-onset progressive myoclonus ...

Analysis of candidate genes in the CLN6 critical regionusing in silico cloning
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2001CLN6, the gene for variant late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, was mapped to a 4 cM region on chromosome 15q22-23. Subsequently the critical region was narrowed to less than 1 cM between microsatellite markers D15S988 and D15S1000 by additional marker typing in an expanded family resource.

Juvenile-Onset Kufs Disease in a Chinese Consanguineous Family due to CLN6 Mutation
Neurodegenerative Diseases, 2021<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to identify the genetic cause of two cases of Kufs disease in the same family. The two affected individuals exhibited different levels of severity under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

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