These genes were integrin alpha-3 (ITGA3), heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8), cathepsin D (CTSD), autophagy-related 12 (ATG12), neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN3), ATG7, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 gamma (MAP1LC3C), and WD repeat domain phosphoinositide-interacting protein 1 (WIPI1). This evidence concerns the gene WIPI1 and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.
