Many children are given a preliminary diagnosis of Batten disease. Having a center that can provide accurate diagnosis and clinical management of all forms of Batten disease will expedite the development and refinement of the clinical tools necessary for the evaluation of the progression of these devastating diseases.
The Batten Disease Diagnostic and Clinical Research Center has the following core components and objectives:
1. Genetic diagnosis of Batten disease.
2. Clinical evaluation of Batten disease.
3. Continued development of the UBDRS, a clinical rating scale
for Batten disease
4. Education.
5. Interaction with current research into Batten disease.
6. Development and design of clinical trials for JNCL.
