Abstract:Late‐infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) and juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) are inherited neurodegenerative diseases caused by mutations in the genes encoding lysosomal proteins tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) and CLN3 protein, respectively.

In contrast, there are no effective treatments for JNCL,… Show more
