The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis protein Cln7 functions in the postsynaptic cell to regulate synapse development

Abstract The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of fatal, monogenic neurodegenerative disorders with an early onset in infancy or childhood. Despite identification of the genes disrupted in each form of the disease, their normal cellular role and how their deficits lead to disease pat...
