Although Batten disease is the juvenile form of NCL, most doctors use the same term to describe all forms of NCL. Early symptoms of Batten disease (or NCL) usually appear in childhood when parents or doctors may notice a child begin to develop vision problems or seizures. In some cases the early signs are subtle, taking the form of personality and behaviour changes, delayed speech, slow learning, clumsiness or stumbling.
Batten Disease, also referred to as Spielmeyer-Vogt-SjÃ£ÆÂ¶gren-Batten Disease, is a childhood neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disorder. The condition is genetic, caused by mutations in up to eight different human genes. In most cases, the disease is caused by mutations in the CLN3 gene. The condition is named after the doctor who described the disease in 1903, Dr. Frederick Batten. Batten Disease usually develops in childhood, with symptoms appearing most commonly between the ages of four and ten years.
