NCIt synonyms : MGC33302; CLN7; Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis, Neuronal 7, Late Infantile Gene; CCMD; Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis, Neuronal 7, Late Infantile, Variant Gene; Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain Containing 8 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human MFSD8 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 4q28.2 and is approximately
48 kb in length. This allele, which encodes major facilitator superfamily domain-containing
protein 8, plays a role in lysosome activity. Missense mutations in the gene are associated
with both macular dystrophy with central cone involvement and late infantile-onset
neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (vLINCL; neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 7; CLN7
Batten disease).;
