Presentation
Patient 6, however, presented an atypical progression of disease. [scielo.br]
Clinical presentation is heterogeneous as is onset, which renders the diagnosis hard to make. [radiopaedia.org]

She had progressive motor and mental deterioration since the age of 2,5 years. Later she developed progressive vision loss, stereotypies, action myoclonus and epilepsy. By the age of 5 years she stopped walking. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Motor Disturbances
In that regard, the pentad of symptoms (complete or not): motor disturbances, especially ataxia, visual impairment, seizures, dementia and familial occurrence should serve as a heuristic approach to suspect childhood NCL and consider peripheric lymphocytes [scielo.br]
Workup
Clinical Testing and Workup Enzymes assays are tests that measure the activity of specific enzymes. In some types of ANCL, reduced enzyme activity can be demonstrated on an assay. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Prognosis
A disease nomenclature or diagnostic classification system should also provide information about prognosis and guide treatment choices. [ucl.ac.uk]
Etiology
Although there were no unexpected serious adverse events that were unequivocally attributable to the AAV2CU hCLN2 vector, there were serious adverse effects, the etiology of which could not be determined under the conditions of the experiment. [liebertpub.com]
In fact, the juvenile form of NCL is the most prevalent one throughout the world; except for Finland, where the CLN1 (the etiologic locus of INCL) has a comparative higher incidence 3,9,15. [scielo.br]

Epidemiology
Worldwide epidemiological data do not exist, but a higher incidence of NCL has been observed in northern countries 5. [scielo.br]

Prevention
In mice carrying a PPT1 mutation, NtBuHA prevented neuronal cell loss, mitigated behavioral deterioration and increased survival rates. [natureasia.com]
By studying a compound that might improve the ability of support cells to recycle glutamate and prevent glutamate toxicity within neurons, researchers hope to develop a potential therapy for children with juvenile Batten disease. [ninds.nih.gov]
