Description
This title will present all current knowledge of Batten disease from research to clinical evaluation. NCL is not well recognized in underdeveloped
countries because the diagnostic technology is lacking. With the information in this volume, however, a specific diagnosis of NCL could
be made. Also, specific familial mutations obtained through genetic tests may guide prenatal diagnoses for at-risk families.
Audience
Molecular geneticists, clinical geneticists, neurologists, neuroscientists, pediatricians, molecular biologists, and biochemists.
