Disease Overview:

ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a family of rapidly progressing childhoodneurodegenerative disorders.

Classic and atypical presentations with varying age of onset, symptoms and disease course based on type and phenotype NCLs are historically recognised by a triad of debilitating symptoms which are Seizures/epilepsy,Dementia and Vision loss.
