ceroid/seizures

EEG findings and the course of epileptic seizures in two patients with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Batten Spielmeyer Vogt syndrome) are presented. Both patients, during the course of disease, developed therapy resistant epileptic reactions with myoclonicastatic seizures. These seizures in

We examined flurothyl gas-induced seizure latencies and phenotype in 2 mouse models of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses: the nclf (Cln6 mutant) variant late-infantile model and the mnd (Cln8 mutant) Northern epilepsy model. Mnd mice on postnatal days 35 to 42 had increased latency to loss of posture

OBJECTIVE To evaluate seizure phenomenology, treatment, and course in individuals with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL). METHODS Data from an ongoing natural history study of JNCL were analyzed using cross-sectional and longitudinal methods. Seizures were evaluated with the Unified

OBJECTIVE Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL), or Batten disease, is a pediatric neurodegenerative disease characterized by vision loss, seizure activity, cognitive decline, and premature death. Discovery of the Batten disease-related gene, CLN3, led to creation of a Cln3

We detail the phenotype of a novel form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis due to a homozygous progranulin gene mutation (c.813_816del; CLN11 MIM #614706). The symptoms appeared in two young adult siblings, and included progressive retinopathy, recurrent generalized seizures, moderate ataxia, and

Juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is a progressive encephalopathy characterized by a neural and extraneural accumulation of ceroid and lipofuscin like storage cytosomes and by an autosomal recessive inheritance. It begins with a gradual loss of vision at the age of 4-7 years and is

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders characterized by intracellular accumulation of ceroid lipopigments. Based on gene defect of NCL-associated proteins, 14 types of NCL have been described till date. NCL type 11 was first described in 2014 in

Mutations in the CLN6 gene cause a variant late infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL; Batten disease). CLN6 loss leads to disease clinically characterized by vision impairment, motor and cognitive dysfunction, and seizures. Accumulating evidence suggests that alterations in metal

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are progressive neurodegenerative disorders with onset from infancy to adulthood that are manifested by blindness, seizures, and dementia. In NCL, lysosomes accumulate autofluorescent proteolipid in the brain and other tissues. The mnd/mnd mutant mouse was

Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL, also known as Haltia-Santavuori disease) is a lysosomal storage disorder of infants and children characterized by blindness, seizures and a progressive neurodegenerative course. Recent clinical trials have involved neural stem cells and gene therapy

OBJECTIVE Mutations in the CLN6 gene cause variant late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder clinically characterized by progressive loss of vision, dementia, seizures, and early death. Here, we analyzed the time course of photoreceptor loss and the role of

We describe the first three cases of classical, late-infantile, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis from Russia. All of the patients had seizures, myoclonia, cognitive deterioration, cerebellar and pyramidal signs and also optic atrophy. Parkinsonian features were observed in one case.

BACKGROUND Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are a group of inherited autosomal recessive lysosomal diseases, most commonly found in infancy. These are neuropathologically characterised by accumulation of an autofluorescent lipopigment in neurons and other cells. This condition is clinically

Clinical findings, pathological features and tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) activity and genetic mutation analysis data of nine patients affected with the late-infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (LINCL) in China are systematically reviewed with long-term follow-up. The patients were

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are inherited lysosomal storage diseases characterized by progressive neuropathy and the accumulation of autofluorescent cytoplasmic granules. Clinical signs of a new canine NCL began in a 9-month-old male Dachshund with vomiting, mental dullness, and loss
