Epidemiology of progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration in UK children. [PDF]
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.

Novel CLN1 mutation with atypical juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.
We detected a novel CLN1 gene mutation (p.Arg151X, heterogenous) in a 12-year-old boy. Low level of palmitoyl protein thioesterase and granular inclusion pattern in lymphocytes were also consistent with infantile Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL).

Atypical juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis: A report of three cases.
The diagnosis of juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is usually based on age of onset, initial clinical symptoms, clinical progression, and pathologic findings. Our cases manifested atypical clinical symptomatology and/or pathologic findings and therefore, represent variant forms of JNCL.

Reversible synaptic deficits in early-stage batten disease [PDF]
Background Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL, Batten Disease) is a childhood-onset, neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the lysosomal gene CLN3. Progressive cognitive decline is characteristic clinical feature,

The paediatric rheumatologist and orphan disease – a story without happy ending
Orphan diseases are not a common challenge in the everyday practice of the rheumatologist. Despite their extremely rare occurrence one of the patients under our care developed one of them – neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, the most frequent ...

Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and education
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is characterized by severe visual impairment with onset around age 4-8 years, and a developmental course that includes blindness, epilepsy, speech problems, dementia, motor coordination problems, and emotional reactions. There is presently no cure and the disease leads to premature death.
