Abstract

Summary Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are the most common neurodegenerative childhood onset disorders characterized by autosomal recessive inheritance epileptic seizures progressive psychomotor deterioration visual failure and premature death At least seven subtypes of childhood onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses have been identified of which the late infantile onset forms are genetically the most heterogeneous We present a five year old girl with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis who presented with progressive psychomotor retardation ataxia and epilepsia Palmitoyl protein thioesterase activity was very low and a homozygous mutation was identified in CLN2 gene Turk Arch Ped 2010; 45: 155 7 Key words: CLN2 gene electron microscopy neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

Geç infantil nöronal seroid lipofusinoz: Bir olgu sunumu

Abstract

Özet Nöronal seroid lipofusinozlar otozomal çekinik kalıtım epileptik nöbetler ilerleyici psikomotor bozulma görme kaybı ve erken ölüm ile belirgin çocukluk çağında en sık görülen nörodejeneratif hastalıklardır Çocukluk çağında nöronal seroid lipofusinozların en az yedi alt tipi tanımlanmış olup bunların içinde geç infantil nöronal seroid lipofusinoz genetik olarak en heterojen tipidir Bu yazıda ilerleyici psikomotor gerilik ataksi ve epilepsi ile getirilen ve geç infantil nöronal seroid lipofusinoz tanısı alan bir olgu sunulmaktadır Palmitoyil protein tiyoesteraz aktivitesi çok düşük olup CLN2 geninde homozigot mutasyon saptanmıştır Türk Ped Arş 2010; 45: 155 7 Anahtar sözcükler: CLN2 geni elektron mikroskopi nöronal seroid lipofusinoz
