Human ceroid lipofuscinosis (CL) is an inherited disease marked by cerebromacular degeneration and early death. We have utilized the canine model to investigate the possible role of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate in the developmental pathology of CL. We found that while brain levels of dolichol increase with age in both affected and unaffected dogs, the amount in the diseased animal was similar to that in controls. Brain levels of dolichyl phosphate ranged from 20 to 35 μg/g in control dogs at all ages examined, but increased substantially during development in the affected dogs, a value of 113 ± 24 μg/g (mean ± SD) being obtained in the end‐stage animals. In addition to the results obtained in the canine model, dolichyl phosphate levels in human brain tissues from a 5‐year‐old with late infantile CL and from a 19‐year‐old with juvenile CL were found to be 153 and 382 μg/g, respectively, compared with a control that assayed 26 μg/g. The preliminary findings with human tissues provide further evidence for an association of elevated brain dolichyl phosphate levels with CL. Whether the increase is primary or secondary remains to be determined.
