TLDR
The current understanding of the thirteen identified NCL genes and the proteins they encode is summarized, touching upon the spectrum of clinical manifestations linked to each of the genes, and recent progress leading to a broader understanding of key pathways involved in NCL disease pathogenesis and commonalities with other neurodegenerative diseases are highlighted.

Excessive burden of lysosomal storage disorder gene variants in Parkinson’s disease (S1.001)

TL;DR: In this paper, the aggregate burden of variants in lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) genes besides GBA are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility, and the associated genes have yet to be systematically evaluated for contribution to PD risk.

Impairment of Lysosome Function and Autophagy in Rare Neurodegenerative Diseases.

TL;DR: Using a repertoire of selected rare neurodegenerative diseases, it is highlighted that a variety of alterations of the autophagy–lysosome pathway are associated with neuronal death.
Journal ArticleDOI

CLN3 is required for the clearance of glycerophosphodiesters from lysosomes

TL;DR: The LysoTag mouse is developed for the tissue-specific isolation of intact lysosomes that are compatible with the multimodal profiling of their contents and results reveal Batten disease as a neurodegenerative LSD with a defect in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex- and region-biased depletion of microglia/macrophages attenuates CLN1 disease in mice

TL;DR: A detrimental impact of innate immune reactions in the CNS of CLN1 mice is demonstrated and this findings provide insights into CLN pathogenesis and may guide in the design of immunomodulatory treatment strategies.

Mutations in the palmitoyl protein thioesterase gene causing infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

TL;DR: The identification, by positional candidate methods, of defects in the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase gene in all 42 Finnish INCL patients and several non-Finnish patients is reported, which results in intracellular accumulation of the polypeptide and undetectable enzyme activity in the brain of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of a novel gene underlying batten disease, CLN3

TL;DR: Two separate deletions and a point mutation altering a splice site in three unrelated families have confirmed the candidate gene that is disrupted by a 1 kb genomic deletion in all patients carrying the 56 chromosome as the CLN3 gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Mutations in a Lysosomal Protein with Classical Late-Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis

TL;DR: In this paper, the mannose 6-phosphate modification of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes was used as an affinity marker, and a single protein was identified that is absent in LINCL.
