Abstract
Two distinct clinical subtypes of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis caused by mutations in the PPT gene, INCL and vJNCL/GROD, occur at a high frequency in the central region of Scotland. In this paper we summarize the clinical details and the molecular basis underlying the disease in the Scottish patients. Comparison of the combination of mutations in the different clinical types reveals a clear genotype-phenotype correlation. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
