Batten Disease – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Batten Disease, one of the rare genetic disorders, falls within the category of progressive degenerative neurometabolic disorders collectively known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. Human NCLs result from mutations in several genes, encompassing over 430 mutations. These genes play various roles, including encoding lysosomal enzymes (such as CLN1, CLN2, CLN10, and CLN13), a soluble lysosomal protein (CLN5), a protein involved in the secretory pathway (CLN11), two cytoplasmic proteins that also interact with membranes (CLN4 and CLN14), as well as multiple transmembrane proteins found in different subcellular locations (CLN3, CLN6, CLN7, CLN8, and CLN12). While most mutations in these genes typically manifest as a standard disease phenotype, some result in a wide range of disease onset, severity, and progression, leading to distinct clinical phenotypes. Within this spectrum, there remain disease subgroups for which the molecular genetic backgrounds remain unknown. The initial symp...
