Gene: CLN6

Alternate names for this Gene: CLN4A|HsT18960|nclf

Gene Summary: This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q23
