Gene: [16p121/CLN3] ceroid-lipofuscinosis, neuronal 3 (juvenile amaurotic family idiocy); Batten disease (neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis); juvenile amaurotic family idiocy (Vogt-Spielmeyer/Sjogren disease); [BTS NCL ]
COM | The International Batten Disease Consortium (1995), comprising 27 individuals in 9 different institutions, isolated the CLN3 gene. This gene encodes a novel 438-amino acid protein of unknown function. Thus they found that the common mutation is a small deletion, whereas probably a number of different mutations account for the other Batten disease chromosomes." |
LIN | Linkage mapped between D16S288 and D16S383 (Mitchison-1995). |
GEN | Exons: 15; introns: 14 (Mitchison-1997a). |
HET | Several clinical genetic forms of amaurotic family idiocies are distingushed, mainly by age of onset of the degenerative process; see GEM:01p32/PPT." |
