Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in childhood which is caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (PPT) encoded by the CLN1 gene. In a pregnancy at risk for INCL, chorionic villi (CV) were studied using a novel

Eight unrelated children with progressive neurological deterioration and granular osmiophilic deposits (GROD) due to an underlying palmitoyl-protein thioesterase deficiency were analyzed for mutations in the PPT1 gene. Three novel mutations (G118D, Q291X and F84del) were identified. The novel Q291X
