Abstrakt: We describe the isolation and chromosomal mapping of a mouse homolog of the Batten disease gene,CLN3.Like its human counterpart, the mouse cDNA contains an open reading frame of 1314 bp encoding a predicted protein product of 438 amino acids. The mouse and human coding regions are 82 and 85% identical at the nucleic acid and amino acid levels, respectively. The mouse gene maps to distal Chromosome 7, in a region containing genes whose homologs are on human chromosome 16p12, whereCLN3maps. Isolation of a mouseCLN3homolog will facilitate the creation of a mouse model of Batten disease.
