Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, Neuronal, 4b, Autosomal Dominant; Cln4b

Description

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis-4B is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by onset of symptoms in adulthood. It belongs to a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by accumulation of intracellular autofluorescent lipopigment storage material in the brain and other tissues. Several different forms have been described according to age of onset (see, e.g., CLN3, {204200}). Individuals with the adult form, sometimes referred to as Kufs disease, develop psychiatric manifestations, seizures, cerebellar ataxia, and cognitive decline. Retinal degeneration is usually not present (summary by Benitez et al., 2011 and Velinov et al., 2012).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of CLN, see CLN1 (OMIM ).
