Extractions: Email: s.mole@ucl.ac.uk Autofluorescent lipofuscin in patient cells (courtesy of Prof Hans Goebel) The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL), or Batten disease, are the most common neurodegenerative disorders of childhood. Children suffer from progressive blindness and neurodegeneration leading to premature death. The disease is characterised by the accumulation of autofluorescent material (ceroid and lipofuscin-like) in the lysosomes of most cells, and the death of cortical neurons. Since lipofuscin accumulates during the normal ageing process and ceroid is found in several diseases, including a common cause of blindness, and since the NCL storage material accumulates prenatally yet may have no clinical effects for many years, understanding the molecular basis of NCL disease may also shed light on the biology of ageing, macular degeneration and late onset neurodegeneration. Most NCLs are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. I have spent many years taking a molecular genetic approach to identify genes defective in the different types of NCL. 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 that are found in the lysosome (

Medical Encyclopedia Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Batten Disease, Jansky-Bielschowsky, Kufs' Disease, Lipofuscinoses, Spielmeyer-Vogt Definition The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLS) are a group of rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorders. They associated with the accumulation of an abnormal pigment in the brain called lipofuscin. These disorders can be associated with severe diseases including blindness, mental retardation, and early death. There are three main types, depending on the age it begins late infantile (Jansky-Bielschowsky), juvenile (Batten disease), and adult (Kufs or Parry's disease).

Extractions: Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis Definition: An inherited degenerative disease characterized by neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions which stain positively for ceroid and lipofuscin. Affected individuals develop retinal degeneration, seizures, myoclonus, ataxia, rigidity, and progressive dementia. Clinically there are four subtypes, divided by age of onset of symptoms: infantile (Santavuori-Haltia type), late infantile (Jansky-Bielschowsky type), juvenile (Spielmeyer-Vogt type), and adult (Kuf's disease). The late infantile and juvenile forms may both also be referred to as Batten Disease and Batten-Mayou Disease. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p957)

RS Greenwood and JS Nelson We describe the clinical, pathologic, and ultrastructural findings in a case of juvenile onset neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis without visual symptoms or retinal abnormalities. The histochemical and ultrastructural characteristics of the neuronal lipopigment were similar to those in typical cases of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis. Atypical neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis may be distinguished histochemically, ultrastructurally, and clinically from another disorder called juvenile

Ewe No. 1 was necropsied at 10 months of age, and after being held under observation for a further 6 months, ewe No. 2 was necropsied at 16 months of age. At that time, the ewe was blind and severely depressed. Both ewes had deposition of an autofluorescent lipopigment, identified as ceroid-lipofuscin, in neurons of the brain, spinal cord, eye, and dorsal root ganglia. The disease process was progressive and characterized by deposition of lipopigment with neuronal degeneration and severe fibrillary astrogliosis. This progressive loss of

Neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis was diagnosed in a young adult domestic short-haired cat euthanatized because of severe progressive neurologic disease. Clinical signs included blindness, seizures, and decreased mentation. An autofluorescent pigment, identified as ceroid-lipofuscin by electron microscopy and staining properties, was found within neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems. A diffuse reactive astrocytosis accompanied by multifocal microgliosis was visible in all areas of the brain. Retinal atrophy with intraneuronal lipopigment accumulation was also
