Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses comprise a genetically heterogeneous group of mainly childhood-onset neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders. Progressive loss of vision is among the typical clinical symptoms of these fatal disorders. Here, we performed a detailed analysis of retinal degeneration in mice deficient in the lysosomal membrane protein CLN7, a novel animal model of CLN7 disease.
