1. A polynucleotide comprising a human neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis protein 5 (CLN5) open reading frame, wherein the human CLN5 open reading frame is codon-optimized for expression in a human cell, wherein the codon-optimized human open reading frame starts from the third start site of the wildtype human CLN5, and wherein the human CLN5 open reading frame comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% identity thereto.
