The c.863A>G (p.Glu288Gly) variant of the CTSD gene is not associated with CLN10 disease

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background Cathepsin D is a lysosomal aspartic protease encoded by the CTSD gene. It plays important roles in many biological processes. Biallelic loss‐of‐function mutation of CTSD is considered a cause of CLN10 disease.

From Molecule to Meaning: Neuronopathic Biomarkers and Clinical Relevance in GM1

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare, progressively neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder characterized by profound central nervous system involvement and substantial clinical heterogeneity. The development of reliable biomarkers is essential for tracking disease progression, stratifying patients, and advancing clinical trial readiness. Primary

Molecular Genetics of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1992
This overview describes recent advances in molecular biology of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (CLN). Despite intensive research during last 20 years, the basic defects of these autosomal recessive-progressive encephalopathies of childhood remain unknown. Consequently, no specific cure is available.

Prosaposin Is Cleaved Into Saposins by Multiple Cathepsins in a Progranulin‐Regulated Fashion

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 1, January 2026.
Prosaposin (PSAP) is a lysosomal protein cleaved into four bioactive saposins (SapA‐D) that regulate sphingolipid breakdown. Here, we identify nine cathepsins, including seven newly implicated enzymes, that process PSAP in a pH‐dependent manner to generate distinct cleavage products.

Neurocognitive, behavioral, and treatment burden as key predictors of parental stress in pediatric epilepsy

Epilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 12, Page 4960-4971, December 2025.
Parental stress is linked to child cognitive impairment, internalizing symptoms, complex treatments, and lower caregiver education. No gender differences were found, though most caregivers were mothers. Findings suggest the need for support beyond seizure control.

Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy: A comprehensive diagnostic strategy for clinical practice

Epilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 11, Page 4107-4121, November 2025.
Abstract Familial adult myoclonus epilepsy (FAME) is a genetic neurological disorder characterized by cortical myoclonus and epileptic seizures with clinical features that overlap with other movement disorders and epileptic syndromes, particularly essential tremor (ET), progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME), and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME).

The Neuronal Ceroid‐Lipofuscinoses. Recent Advances

Brain Pathology, 1998
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) represent a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterised by progressive visual failure, neurodegeneration, epilepsy and the accumulation of an autofluorescent lipopigment in neurons and other cells. The main childhood subtypes are infantile (INCL;CLN1), classical late infantile (LINCL;CLN2) and juvenile ...

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

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 745-802, October 2025.
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 ...

Batten disease: biochemical and molecular characterization revealing novel PPT1 and TPP1 gene mutations in Indian patients

BMC Neurology, 2018
Background Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses type I and type II (NCL1 and NCL2) also known as Batten disease are the commonly observed neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the PPT1 and TPP1 genes respectively.
