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

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses in children
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.

Epidemiology of progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration in UK children
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.

Predictors of etiology and drug resistance in children with new‐onset focal seizures
Abstract Objective To examine the clinical features of new‐onset focal seizures in children and investigate clinical associations and predictors of underlying etiology and drug resistance. Methods Data were gathered from The Children's Hospital at Westmead admissions for patients aged 1 month to 18 years who presented with new‐onset focal seizures ...

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

“Atypical” Phenotypes of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis: The Argentine Experience in the Genomic Era
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) refers to a group of inherited lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the intracellular accumulation of ceroid-lipofuscin compounds and neurodegeneration.

Cln6 mutants associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis are degraded in a proteasome-dependent manner [PDF]
NCLs (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses), a group of inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases that predominantly affect children, are the result of autosomal recessive mutations within one of the nine cln genes. The wild-type cln gene products are composed of membrane and soluble proteins that localize to the lysosome or the ER (endoplasmic ...

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are characterized by progressive neurodegeneration resulting in widespread brain atrophy. Each form is assumed to be the consequence of some universal intracellular event; however, time course ...

ABSTRACT Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) belong to a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by psychomotor regression, seizures, and visual impairment, resulting from intracellular accumulation of lipofuscin. CLN5, a subtype typically manifesting between ages 4 to 17, is particularly rare in non‐Finnish populations.
