## Abstract The search for biochemical abnormalities in the neuronal ceroidβlipofuscinoses (NCL) or Batten disease was initiated with the discovery of normal levels of gangliosides in juvenile amaurotic idiocy. The primary goal of most biochemical studies has been to discover the unique biochemical
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) comprise a set of at least 6 distinct human and an unknown number of animal diseases characterized by storage of proteolipids in lysosomes of many cell types. By unknown mechanisms, this accumulation leads to or is associated with severe neuronal and retinal
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) form a group of autosomal recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorders that mainly affect children. Ten NCL forms can be distinguished by age at onset, clinicopathologic features, and genetics. In eight of these forms, the underlying genes have been ide
