Regression, Ataxia, and Nystagmus in a Toddler: Unraveling a Rare Neurodegenerative Disorder

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) should be considered in any toddler presenting with psychomotor regression and cerebellar atrophy, even when basal ganglia iron deposition is absent on initial MRI. Molecular genetic testing of PLA2G6 is essential for definitive diagnosis, enabling accurate genetic counseling and timely multidisciplinary ...

Gene therapy ameliorates spontaneous seizures associated with cortical neuron loss in a Cln2R207X mouse model

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
Although a disease-modifying therapy for classic late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN2 disease) exists, poor understanding of cellular pathophysiology has hampered the development of more effective and persistent therapies.

Position of Experts Regarding Follow-Up of Patients with Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis-2 Disease in Latin America

Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2020
Given the lack of standardized guidance for follow-up of patients with neuronal ceroid lipofucsinosis-2 disease in Latin-American countries and the heterogeneity of the region, an expert panel was created with the participation of 11 pediatric ...

Deciphering Freezing of Gait: What Neuropathology Reveals About an Episodic Phenomenon

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 12, June 2026.
Freezing of gait (FoG) occurs across Parkinson's disease, multiple neurodegenerative conditions and non‐neurodegenerative disorders. This review synthesizes the structural, neurochemical and proteinopathic substrates underlying FoG, showing how cumulative damage to distributed locomotor circuits—compounded by overlapping pathologies—progressively ...

CSPα in neurodegenerative diseases

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Adult-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (ANCL) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by epilepsy, cognitive degeneration, and motor disorders caused by mutations in the DNAJC5 gene.

2025 Consensus Clinical Management Guidelines for Niemann‐Pick Disease Type C

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In 2018, the International Niemann‐Pick Disease Alliance (INPDA) and the International Niemann‐Pick Disease Registry (INPDR) developed and published comprehensive clinical management guidelines to support inclusive and standardized care pathways in Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC)—an ultra‐rare, autosomal recessive, neurovisceral lysosomal ...

A novel MFSD8 mutation in a Russian patient with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 7: a case report

BMC Medical Genetics, 2018
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 ...

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis: a clinicopathological study [PDF]

Seizure, 2004
We report the clinical, electrophysiological, radiological and morphological features in a series of 12 patients of histopathologically confirmed cases (infantile, juvenile and adult onset) of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) observed from 1979 to 1998 at National Institute of Mental Health & Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore (South India).

Mapping Clinical Progression to Brain Atrophy in CLN2 Patients Under Cerliponase Alfa Treatment: A Prospective Neuroimaging Study

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, causes early childhood psychomotor regression, vision loss, seizures, and rapid progressive gray matter loss. However, the link between neurodegenerative processes induced by lysosomal pathophysiology and the clinical phenotype remains unclear.

Reduction of microglial progranulin does not exacerbate pathology or behavioral deficits in neuronal progranulin-insufficient mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2019
Loss-of-function mutations in progranulin (GRN), most of which cause progranulin haploinsufficiency, are a major autosomal dominant cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
