Fundamental Neurochemistry Review: Sphingolipids and Ceramides in Brain Development

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 10, October 2025.
Ceramides and sphingolipids in brain development and cell compartments. Ceramides and sphingolipids are known to influence multiple steps of brain development, including the formation of the neural tube, neural stem cell polarity and proliferation at the ventricular boundary, neuronal migration—for example, whilst migrating on radial glial processes ...

Progressively reduced synaptic vesicle pool size in cultured neurons derived from neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis-1 knockout mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are a newly-recognized group of lysosomal storage disorders in which neurodegeneration predominates. The pathophysiological basis for this is unknown.

Clinical phenotype features and genetic etiologies of 38 children with progressive myoclonic epilepsy

Acta Epileptologica, 2020
Background Progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) is a group of neurodegenerative diseases with genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic similarities, and many cases remain unknown of the genetic causes. This study is aim to summarize the clinical features and

A Practical Guide to Genetic Eye Conditions for Paediatricians

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 1538-1548, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Inherited eye disorders, though individually rare, are a collectively common cause of paediatric vision impairment. Many occur as part of a syndrome, in association with congenital anomalies and/or growth/developmental disorders.

A Drosophila model of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis CLN4 reveals a hypermorphic gain of function mechanism

eLife, 2019
The autosomal dominant neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) CLN4 is caused by mutations in the synaptic vesicle (SV) protein CSPα. We developed animal models of CLN4 by expressing CLN4 mutant human CSPα (hCSPα) in Drosophila neurons. Similar to patients,

Diagnosis of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses: An update

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2006
For the majority of families affected by one of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), a biochemical and/or genetic diagnosis can be achieved. In an individual case this information not only increases understanding of the condition but also may influence treatment choices and options.

Palmitoyl‐Protein Thioesterase 1 (PPT1) Protein, Linked to Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1, Is a Major Constituent of Ageing‐Related Human Neuronal Lipofuscin

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 51, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Proteomics of laser‐dissected lipofuscin from aged, healthy brains reveals Palmitoyl‐Protein Thioesterase 1 (PPT1) and other CLN proteins as constituents. PPT1 is increasingly sequestered to lipofuscin during ageing. Protein sequestering into lipofuscin may contribute to physiological neuronal ageing.

Targeted Disruption of the Cln3 Gene Provides a Mouse Model for Batten Disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 1999
Batten disease, a degenerative neurological disorder with juvenile onset, is the most common form of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. Mutations in the CLN3 gene cause Batten disease.

The Spectrum of Neurologic Phenotypes Associated With NUS1 Pathogenic Variants: A Comprehensive Case Series

Annals of Neurology, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 561-572, September 2025.
Objective A growing body of evidence indicates a strong genetic overlap between developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) and movement disorders. De novo loss‐of‐function variants in NUS1 have been recently identified in DEE cases. Herein, we report a large cohort of cases with pathogenic NUS1 variants and describe their clinical presentation

Glycosylation, transport, and complex formation of palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) – distinct characteristics in neurons

BMC Cell Biology, 2007
Background Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are collectively the most common type of recessively inherited childhood encephalopathies. The most severe form of NCL, infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), is caused by mutations in the CLN1 ...
