Future perspectives: Moving towards NCL treatments

Susan L Cotman et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. 2015 Oct.

Abstract

Clinicians, basic researchers, representatives from pharma and families from around the world met in Cordoba, Argentina in October, 2014 to discuss recent research progress at the 14th International Congress on Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCLs; Batten disease), a group of clinically overlapping fatal, inherited lysosomal disorders with primarily neurodegenerative symptoms. This brief review article will provide perspectives on the anticipated future directions of NCL basic and clinical research as we move towards improved diagnosis, care and treatment of NCL patients. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Current Research on the Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (Batten Disease).

Keywords: Batten disease; Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL).
