Adult Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (ANCL) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Adult Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (ANCL) constitutes a genetically diverse subgroup within the broader neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) category. ANCL manifests in the third decade of life, marked by the onset of seizures, dementia, a decline in motor function, and, occasionally, visual impairment stemming from retinal degeneration. The ANCL phenotype was initially designated as CLN4 disease, but the responsible gene has yet to be identified. CLN4 can be inherited in either an autosomal recessive (referred to as CLN4A) or autosomal dominant (referred to as CLN4B) manner. The clinical presentation of ANCL typically involves the emergence of progressive myoclonic epilepsy or behavioral disturbances, followed by dementia and extrapyramidal motor symptoms, all typically appearing between the ages of 20 and 30. · The estimated prevalence of ANCL in the general population is approximately 1.5 individuals per 9,000,000.
