Mondo Description Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 5 (CLN5-NCL) is a rare condition that affects the nervous system. Signs and symptoms of the condition generally develop between ages 4.5 and 7 years, although later onset cases have been reported. Affected people may experience loss of muscle coordination (ataxia), seizures that do not respond to medications, muscle twitches (myoclonus), visual impairment, and cognitive/motor decline. It occurs predominantly in the Finnish population. CLN5-NCL is caused by changes (mutations) in the CLN5 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Treatment options are limited to therapies that can help relieve some of the symptoms.
Uniprot Description A form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are progressive neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage diseases characterized by intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent liposomal material, and clinically by seizures, dementia, visual loss, and/or cerebral atrophy. The lipopigment patterns observed most often in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 5 comprise mixed combinations of granular, curvilinear, and fingerprint profiles.
Disease Ontology Description A neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis that is characterized by lipopigment patterns with mixed combinations of 'granular,' 'curvilinear,' and 'fingerprint' profiles, progressive dementia, seizures, and progressive visual failure and has_material_basis_in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the CLN5 gene on chromosome 13q22.
