We have found a group of individuals with the late infantile, the early juvenile variant, and juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (NCL) in Newfoundland, an island with a population of 500,000. In the past 25 yr, we have ascertained 44 cases of NCL in 32 sibships: 32 cases of late infantile NCL (
Ultrastructural studies of uncultured amniotic fluid cells obtained by genetic amniocentesis at 16 wk of gestation demonstrated 3 major cell types. Membrane bound curvilinear cytosomes were observed in about 30% of a subpopulation of dark, elongated cells. These are considered typical of the inclusi
Batten disease, or the juvenile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder manifesting with progressive blindness, seizures, and dementia, leading to an early death. The CLN3 locus which is involved in Batten disease had been localized to chromosome
