{"symbol":"CLN5","synonyms":[],"name":"ceroid-lipofuscinosis, neuronal 5","description":"This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":1203,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/1203","proteins":[{"symbol":"CLN5_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/CLN5_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
