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

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

A Missense Mutation in Canine CLN6 in an Australian Shepherd with Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis [PDF]
The childhood neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are inherited neurodegenerative diseases that are progressive and ultimately fatal. An Australian Shepherd that exhibited a progressive neurological disorder with signs similar to human NCL was evaluated.

A novel myopathy with autophagic vacuoles associated with biallelic variants in CLN8
We describe a novel adult‐onset myopathy with autophagic vacuoles and characteristic features of ceroid lipofuscinosis associated with biallelic CLN8 variants, seizures, and muscle weakness. Autophagosomal/lysosomal deposition of curvilinear, autofluorescent material containing the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase membrane subunit c ...

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.

Deciphering Freezing of Gait: What Neuropathology Reveals About an Episodic Phenomenon
Freezing of gait (FoG) occurs across Parkinson's disease, multiple neurodegenerative conditions and non‐neurodegenerative disorders. This review synthesizes the structural, neurochemical and proteinopathic substrates underlying FoG, showing how cumulative damage to distributed locomotor circuits—compounded by overlapping pathologies—progressively ...

Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Neurophysiological Findings in Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by progressive cerebral atrophy due to lysosomal storage disorder. Common clinical features include epileptic seizures, progressive cognitive and

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.
