Summary Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, the most common fatal childhood neurodegenerative illnesses, share many features with more prevalent neurodegenerative diseases. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are caused by mutations in CLN genes.

MR‐Guidance of Gene Therapy for Brain Diseases: Moving From Palliative Treatment to Cures
ABSTRACT Regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe recently approved a gene therapy for aromatic L‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency, a rare neurologic disorder where a genetic mutation prevents dopamine production in the brain. Affected children fail to develop normal motor and cognitive functions.

Retinal Degeneration In A Mouse Model Of CLN5 Disease Is Associated With Compromised Autophagy
The Finnish variant of late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN5 disease) belongs to a family of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) diseases. Vision loss is among the first clinical signs in childhood forms of NCLs.

Delivering Progranulin to Astrocytic Lysosomes Promotes Growth of Co‐Cultured Neurons
Loss‐of‐function progranulin (GRN) mutations cause frontotemporal dementia. Most of these mutations cause haploinsufficiency of progranulin, a secreted pro‐protein that has neurotrophic and anti‐inflammatory effects. Progranulin is constitutively secreted before trafficking to lysosomes and it is unclear if its effects are mediated by extracellular ...

Mutated CTSF in adult-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and FTD [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular basis of a Belgian family with autosomal recessive adult-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (ANCL or Kufs disease [KD]) with pronounced frontal lobe involvement and to expand the findings to a cohort of unrelated

ABSTRACT A 4‐year‐old castrated male Pomeranian dog with a 2‐year history of necrotizing encephalitis (NE) presented for acute neurological deterioration without trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a broad crescent‐shaped lesion with mixed signal intensities on T1‐ and T2‐weighted images, hypointense areas on T2* images, contrast ...

Assessment of a targeted resequencing assay as a support tool in the diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]
BACKGROUND: With over 50 different disorders and a combined incidence of up to 1/3000 births, lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) constitute a major public health problem and place an enormous burden on affected individuals and their families.

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis therapeutics
Several therapies for neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) are currently being explored, although not all of them are effective against all subtypes (notably, CLN4, CLN9, CLN12, CLN13, and CLN14 diseases have no treatment studies). The majority of these medicines in development are potentially disease-modifying in the sense that they may slow or even ...

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 ...
