Gene: [01p32/PPT] palmitoyl-protein thioesterase; ceroid-lipofuscinosis, neuronal 1 infantile (Haltia-Santavuori disease) (MIM:256730);

[1] An initial suggestion that a mutation in sterol carrier protein X
(see GEM:01p32/SCPRP) can be a cause of the
disease was not confirmed
in further studies by the same research group (Vesa-1994). Based
on results of a structural and expression analysis both of the coding
region and regulatory elements inside the SCPX/SCP2 gene, the authors
concluded that the latter can be excluded as a candidate gene for the
disease. A search for novel coding sequences within this 'relatively
poorly characterised target region' on Chr 1p should be continued in
order to identify the underlying molecular basis of INCL.
[2] The ceroid-lipofuscinosis is found in many domestic animals (dogs, sheep, and cows) which can serve as a model for study of this pathology (Goebel-1992). [3] Very recently, a novel gene underlying a similar clinical form of ceroid-lipofuscinosis, CLN3 or Batten-Vogt-Spielmeyer-Sjogren disease, was cloned, see below [GEM:01p32/PPT:HET]." |

[1] The disease was described as a member of so-called the 'Finnish group' of inherited diseases (for the definition, see Norio R &: Ann Clin Res, 5, 109-141, 1973). In this, genetically relatively isolated population, INCL has a prev- alence of 1:20,000. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Age-of-onset: 8-18 months. Life expectancy: about 10 years. [2] Reviewing about 60 reported cases of Santavuori disease, Baumann RJ, Markesbery WR:1982 described the first cases in the USA: three cases in two unrelated families. One of the latter originated from Appalachian Kentucky. %--- <* > [MAJOR CLINICAL SIGNS] [1] PsychoNeurological: Mental retardation; Loss of speech; Psychomotor deterioration; Microcephaly; Minor motor seizures; Muscular hypotonia; Ataxia; Myoclonic jerks; Optic atrophy; Macular and retinal alterations (without pigment aggregation); Blindness in infancy (before 2 years of age). [2] Laboratory data: Brain cortex cytoarchitecture disarrangement; White matter degeneration with granular deposits resembling free and unsaturated fatty acids; Neuronal alterations with aggregations of changed (often binucleated) phagocytes and hypertrophic fibrillary astrocytes in the cerebral cortex; Serum arachidonic acid increasing while linoleic acid decreasing." |

[1] The ceroid lipofuscinoses are a diverse group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders manifesting in the early age. The distinctive pathological abnormalities in the INCL-1 distinguish the latter form from other lysosomal storage diseases (Zeman-1969; Zeman-1974). The specific signs include brain atrophy and the presence of intracellular fluorescent 'lipopigment'. The storage pigment cytosomes have characteristic granular and lamellar ultrastructures. [2] Up to 10 clinical forms of the pathology have been described. Their current classification is not comprehensive. Three of the forms (including CLN1) have been assigned to particular chromosomes: juvenile amaurotic family idiocy, CLN3, to Chr 16p (GEM:16p121/CLN3), Finnish late infantile to Chr 13q (GEM:13q/CLN5) and late infantile variant to Chr 15q (GEM:15q2/CLN6). In addition, there are so called 'Reserved' items for two more variants of neuronal lipofuscinoses: classical late infantile (GEM:11p15/CLN2; Jansky-Bielschowsky disease) and adult type (GEM:00.0/CLN4; Kufs disease). See also GEM:00.0/CLN7. [3] Jokiaho et al. (Jokiaho-1990) excluded Chr 16p as a possible location for the CLN1 gene. This fact means that at least two clinical forms - the menmentioned juvenile CLN1 (Santavuori-Haltia disease) and CLN3 - are not allelic forms. Moreover, a novel gene underlying the CLN3 ceroid-lipofuscinosis was cloned, very recently, and shown to be disrupted by a 1 kb-genomic deletion in all patients carrying a particular haplotype (see The International Batten Disease Consortium, Cell, 82, N6 (Sep 22), 949-957, 1995; also see GEM:16p121/CLN3, or EMB U32680)" |
