Four types are usually identified: infantile, late infantile, juvenile and adult. Eponyms for the different forms are: Santavuori disease, Jansky Bielchowsky disease, Spielmeyer Vogt or Batten disease, Kufs' disease. Clinically a whole range of symptoms is found, including delayed psychomotor development, ataxia, hypotonia, choreoathetosis, epilepsy and visual failure. The grey matter is mainly affected and nonselective diffuse cerebral and cerebellar cortical atrophy is the MR finding; abnormal T2 hyperintensity of the white matter may also be found.

Different NCL types are distinguished according to age of onset, clinical phenotype, ultrastructural characterisation of the storage material, and chromosomal location of the disease gene. At least eight genes underlie the NCLs, of which four have been isolated and mutations characterised: Received: 12 February 1999; Accepted: 25 May 1999

Extractions: The Evolutionary History of the LINCL Gene in the Founder Population of Newfoundland H. Dawn Marshall and Steven M. Carr Department of Biology Memorial University of Newfoundland Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is one of a group of hereditary neurodegenerative disorders described worldwide and characterized by the intralysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent lipopigments known as ceroid-lipofuscin. This condition presents in children between the ages of 2 and 4 years old as seizures followed by the onset of progressive dementia and early death. As a group, the childhood neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are the most common pediatric neurodegenerative diseases, with an estimated incidence of 1/100,000 in the general population. The incidence is higher in genetically homogeneous populations such as the Finnish (estimated incidence 5/100,000) and may be as much as 20/100,000 in the island population of Newfoundland (Andermann et al LINCL follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance involving mutations in the CLN2 gene (11p15.5, MIM 204500; Liu et al.

Extractions: The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited, severe neurodegenerative disorders manifested pathologically by accumulation of autofluorescent lipopigments, ceroid and lipofuscin, in lysosomes in tissues of the CNS and to a lesser extent in peripheral tissues. Clinically, these disorders are characterized by progressive visual loss leading to blindness, seizures, and psychomotor deterioration. Some of these disorders also have polymyoclonus or myoclonus as major manifestations. The overall frequency of NCL is about 1.2 per 100,000 live births, making them the most common of the lysosomal storage diseases. However, in certain regions such as Finland, the frequency of the infantile form can be as high as 7.7 per 100,000 live births. All of the disorders are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, except for a rare adult-onset form that is autosomal dominant. INCL, or Haltia-Santavouri disease, has the earliest age of onset and is the most severe of the classic four NCL subtypes. In this disorder, seizures usually begin in the first year, followed by loss of developmental milestones, ataxia, hypotonia, and blindness caused by retinal degeneration and optic atrophy. Death usually occurs by age 10.

From the conditions generically classified as amaurotic familial idiocy, two distinctly different groups have emerged. One is characterized by grossly abnormal profiles for cerebral sphingolipids and consists of G(M1)-gangliosidosis and G(M2)-gangliosidosis or Tay-Sachs disease. The other group is composed of cases with normal sphingolipid profiles, but with neuronal accumulation of lipopigments of the ceroid/lipofuscin type

Carver Professor in Internal Medicine, 200 EMRB, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, IA 52252, USA The first two authors contributed equally Abstract Classical late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is caused by mutations in tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP-I), a pepstatin-insensitive lysosomal protease, resulting in neurodegeneration, acute seizures, visual and motor dysfunction. In vitro studies suggest that TPP-I is secreted from cells and subsequently taken up by neighboring cells, similar to other lysosomal enzymes. As such, TPP-I is an attractive candidate for enzyme replacement or gene therapy. In the present studies, we examined the feasibility of gene transfer into mouse brain using recombinant adenovirus (Ad), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors expressing TPP-I, after single injections into the striatum or cerebellum. A dual TPP-I- and
