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.

Mutations in the CLN6 gene cause a variant late infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL; Batten disease). CLN6 loss leads to disease clinically characterized by vision impairment, motor and cognitive dysfunction, and seizures.

Seizures and electroencephalographic findings in inborn errors of metabolism: Clues to differential diagnosis in the neonatal period, infancy, childhood and adolescence, and review of the literature. [PDF]
Abstract Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti‐seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments based on vitamins or dietary modifications or provision of alternative substrates ...
