Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL, NCL3, Batten disease) is usually caused by a 1.02-kb deletion in the CLN3 gene. Mutations in the CLN1 gene may be associated with a variant form of JNCL (vJNCL). We report the clinical course and molecular studies in 24 patients with JNCL collected from 1975 to 2010 with the aim of assessing the natural history of the disorder and phenotype/genotype correlations.

    Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation which is usually diagnosed in infancy or through neonatal screening. In the absence of population screening, adults with undiagnosed MCADD can be expected. This review discu...

    We introduce a segmentation method targeted at membranes, which define the natural limits of compartments within biological specimens. Our method is based on local differential structure and on a Gaussian-like membrane model. First, it isolates information through scale-space and finds potential mem...
