Enhanced expression of manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase in human and sheep CLN6 tissues [PDF]
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6 and its sheep model (OCL6) are lysosomal storage disorders caused by mutations in the CLN6 gene product of unknown function. It has been proposed that mitochondrial dysfunction, including defects in mitochondrial protein degradation, organelle enlargement and functional changes in oxidative phosphorylation, may ...

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

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 accumulation of lipofuscin can be challenging.

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