Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a complex, rare, and fatal disease belonging to a larger group of lysosomal storage disorders that presents with nervous system symptoms. Batten disease – or CLN3 disease – is another name given commonly to Juvenile NCL (JNCL). Dr. Gomez-Giro and her team focused on understanding the neurodevelopmental process of JNCL utilizing healthy hiPSCs introduced with a disease-causing c.1054C→T pathologic variant into the CLN3 gene.
