Mondo Description Any neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CLN8 gene.

Uniprot Description A form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis with onset in childhood. 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 8 comprise mixed combinations of granular, curvilinear, and fingerprint profiles.

Disease Ontology Description A neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis that is characterized by a late infantile onset of symptoms (seizures or motor impairment followed by mental regression, myoclonus, speech impairment, loss of vision, and personality disorders) and a mixed combination of 'granular,' 'curvilinear,' and 'fingerprint' profile lipopigment patterns and has_material_basis_in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the CLN8 gene on chromosome 8p23.
