Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Batten Disease is the juvenile form of a group of progressive neurological diseases known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). It is characterized by accumulation of a fatty substance (lipopigment) in the brain as well as in tissue that does not contain nerve cells. This lipopigment storage disorder is inherited, and is marked by rapidly progressive vision failure (optic atrophy), and neurological disturbances, which may begin before eight years of age. Occurring mostly in families of Northern European Scandinavian ancestry, the disorder affects the brain and may cause both deterioration of intellect and neurological functions.

Extractions: neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Batten's syndrome is a recessively inherited neurodegenerative condition involving a lysosomal storage defect. It is caused by abnormal storage of cerebral lipofuscins. There are a number of other names that are used to refer to this condition, depending on the age of onset: In addition this condition is sometimes known as familial amaurotic familial idiocy or as lipofuscinosis. The gene involved in this syndrome is on chromosome 16.

Extractions: The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) Mutations in at least eight genes are now known or predicted to cause NCL, a group of neurodegenerative disorders of children. The human NCL research group is led by Dr Sara Mole. Postdoctoral research fellow Dr Sandra Codlin joined the team in October 2002 to use the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a unicellular model system for NCL and PhD student Morwenna Porter continued work on the nematode worm model which has a simple nervous system. Dr Hannah Mitchison continues work on the mouse model. Late infantile NCL CLN6 Following on from the identification of as a 311 amino acid protein predicted to sit in a membrane, in total fourteen mutations that cause disease were delineated. Work continued to focus on the biology of CLN6 in collaboration with Prof Dan Cutler of the MRC-LMCB, UCL. Antisera was raised against synthetic peptides from two locations in the protein. All antisera bound to a protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of HEK293 cells and no significant colocalisation was seen with markers for other organelles such as the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment, the Golgi apparatus, early endosomes or lysosomes. This indicates that CLN6 is a resident protein of the ER. All antisera recognized a 30 kDa protein on western blotting, with one looking particularly promising for the development of a screening assay for patients with variant late infantile NCL carrying mutations in the

Extractions: Senior Lecturer in Molecular Genetics The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL), or Batten disease, are the most common neurodegenerative disorders of childhood. They are characterised by progressive blindness and neurodegeneration and the accumulation of autofluorescent material (ceroid and lipofuscin) in neurons and other cell types. Most are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. My main interest lies in identifying the genes defective in all types of NCL and elucidating their function. Six human genes have been identified so far, and one additional gene has been identified in a naturally occurring animal model. Four of the genes encode soluble proteins which are found in the lysosome (CTSD, CLN1/PPT1, CLN2/TPPI, CLN5), and three encode proteins predicted to be part of a membrane (CLN3, CLN6, CLN8). Research Group: Current members are Dr Sandra Codlin (Postdoctoral Research Fellow), Dr Yannick Gachet (Postdoctoral Research Fellow), Ms Morwenna Porter (Research Student) and Ms Yella Martin (Research Student). Former members include Dr Ruth Wheeler, Dr Julie Sharp, Mr Wayne Mitchell, Dr Kit-Yi Leung, Dr Patricia Munroe, Dr Hannah Mitchison, Dr Angela O'Rawe, Ms Treasa Creavin, Mr Jaimie Greenham.

Santavuori Disease, an extremely rare inherited disorder, belongs to a group of progressive degenerative neurometabolic diseases known as the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). These diseases share certain similar symptoms and are distinguished in part by the age at which such symptoms appear. Santavuori Disease is considered the infantile form of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. Vaincre Les Maladies Lysosomales

Kufs Disease is characterized by neurologic symptoms that may mimic mental illness, movement malfunction, and problems with sight. Kufs Disease is linked to excess accumulations of pigments (lipofuscins) dissolved in fat tissues that are found throughout the central nervous system. Kufs Disease, Batten Disease, Bielchowsky Disease, and Santavuori-Haltia Disease are different forms of the same family of disorders (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses [NCL]) that are differentiated by the age of onset. The various forms of this disorder are often extremely difficult to differentiate from other progressive degenerative diseases of the central nervous system.

Extractions: Electron microscopy showed ample intraneuronal granular osmiophilic deposits (GRODs), as occurs in CLN1 and congenital ovine NCL. These forms of NCL are caused by the deficiencies of palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 and cathepsin D, respectively. However, activities of these enzymes were within normal range in our patients. Thus we propose that a gene distinct from the cathepsin D and CLN1-CLN8 genes is responsible for this autosomal dominant form of ANCL.
