An important gene associated with Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis is CLN3 (CLN3 Lysosomal/Endosomal Transmembrane Protein, Battenin). The drugs Cysteamine and Acetylcysteine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include retina and brain, and related phenotypes are nervous system and homeostasis/metabolism
