Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by progressive cognitive and motor decline, epilepsy, visual impairment, and shortened life-expectancy. CLN6-related NCLs include both late-infantile and adult myoclonic form. We report a 21-year-old patient, with mild developmental delay, who developed occipital seizures at 14 years, and subsequently cognitive decline, cortical myoclonus, and photosensitivity at low and higher frequencies.

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by pathogenic variants in seven nucleotide excision repair genes (XPA to XPG) and POLH involved in translesion synthesis. XP patients have a >1000-fold increased risk for sunlight-induced skin cancers. Many Japanese XP-A patients have severe neurological symptoms due to a founder variant in intron 3 of the XPA gene.

Background And Objectives: Pathogenic variants are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. While pediatric phenotypes have been readily explored, adult phenotypes are not well understood. We aimed to investigate the phenotypic spectrum of adult patients with variants.

Background: Headache is a pain disorder present in populations world-wide with a higher incidence in females. Specifically, the incidences of medication overuse headache (MOH) have increased worldwide. Comorbidities of MOH include photosensitivity, anxiety, "brain fog", and decreased physical activity.
