Well, imagine this. . . You take your five year-old to the eye doctor because he's complaining about his sight. Your biggest fear is that he'll be burdened with eye glasses. The your world changes when your referred to a pediatric neurologist who diagnoses your child with Batten disease. Batten disease, a little known genetic disorder that has just put your son in the terminally ill category. The nightmare is only half over as soon your only other child your little girl is diagnosed as well. What is Batten Disease It is an inherited neurological disorder, the most common degenerative brain disease in children. It is neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. At about age seven your child will go blind and begin suffering seizures. Over the next few years he will lose his memory, motor skills and ability to communicate. He will then become bedridden and have to be fed from a tube.

Extractions: Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) April 8, 2005 Sponsored by: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study will examine the effectiveness of a drug called Cystagon in treating infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), a progressive neurological disease affecting children. At around 11 to 13 months of age, patients develop slowed head growth, mild brain atrophy (wasting), electroencephalographic (EEG) changes and retinal deterioration, with symptoms worsening over time. The disease results from an enzyme deficiency that causes fatty compounds called ceroid to accumulate in cells. In laboratory experiments, Cystagon has helped remove ceroid from cells of patients with INCL. Children with INCL between 6 months and 3 years of age may be eligible for this study. Participants take Cystagon daily by mouth every 6 hours. They are admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for a 4- to 5-day period every 6 months for the following tests and evaluations:

Extractions: SEARCH: For: Border Collies The OptiGen CL test is a DNA-based test that provides a method to identify the Border Collie neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disease gene, commonly referred to as CL, inherited as a recessive genetic defect. This test allows you to control the CL gene frequency in your line so you can prevent producing puppies affected with the disease. Among lines of Australian descent, it is estimated that up to 3% of Border Collies are carriers and about 1 in 1000 matings will produce affected pups. Besides Border Collies, a type of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disease has been described in English Setters, Tibetan Terriers and American Bulldogs. It has also been identified in human, cow, horse, sheep and mouse. There are several (at least seven) different genes known to result in a specific form of the disease. The OptiGen CL test is specific for the Border Collie and detects the CL genetic status in Border Collies only. Reliable identification of dogs that do not carry disease genes is the key to controlling autosomal recessive diseases. The OptiGen CL test enables accurate identification of these dogs. Called "genetically clear," "noncarriers" or, more formally, "homozygous normals," such dogs can pass only the normal gene on to all their pups - which means that none of their pups can ever be affected with CL. These "clear" dogs can be bred to any mate, even to a CL carrier which may be a desirable breeding prospect for other reasons.
