{"symbol":"CLN3","synonyms":["BTS","JNCL"],"name":"ceroid-lipofuscinosis, neuronal 3","description":"This gene encodes a protein that is involved in lysosomal function. Mutations in this, as well as other neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (CLN) genes, cause neurodegenerative diseases commonly known as Batten disease or collectively known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). Many alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
