A Novel, Apparently Silent Variant in <i>MFSD8</i> Causes Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis with Marked Intrafamilial Variability

Variants in <i>MFSD8</i> can cause neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) as well as nonsyndromic retinopathy. The mutation spectrum includes mainly missense and stop variants, but splice sites and frameshift variants have also been reported. To date, apparently synonymous substitutions h...
