Epidemiology of progressive intellectual and neurological deterioration in UK children
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.

Background Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are the most common autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorders in children. Clinical manifestations include progressive cognitive decline, motor impairment, ataxia, visual loss, seizures and early ...

Specific Alleles of CLN7/MFSD8, a Protein That Localizes to Photoreceptor Synaptic Terminals, Cause a Spectrum of Nonsyndromic Retinal Dystrophy [PDF]
Purpose: Recessive mutations in CLN7/MFSD8 usually cause variant late-infantile onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (vLINCL), a poorly understood neurodegenerative condition, though mutations may also cause nonsyndromic maculopathy.

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

Primary fibroblasts from CSPα mutation carriers recapitulate hallmarks of the adult onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis [PDF]
Mutations in the co- chaperone protein, CSPα, cause an autosomal dominant, adult-neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (AD-ANCL). The current understanding of CSPα function exclusively at the synapse fails to explain the autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP ...
