BATTEN DISEASE: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Research:

Advances in Genetics: 45

by Krystyna E. Wisniewski (Editor), Nanbert Zhong (Editor), Jeffrey C. Hall (Series Editor), Jay C. Dunlap (Series Editor), Theodore Friedmann (Series Editor), Francesco Giannelli (Series Editor)

"This book will be of interest to many different readers: clinical geneticists who want an overview of a difficult area; paediatric neurologists who need updating on the advances in molecular genetics of the NCLs; lysosomal cell biologists interested in a new angle on their favourite organelle; neurobiologists and neuropathologists interested in a less well known group of neurodegenerative diseases. For researchers in the field it is a handy reference volume." —M. Gardiner, University College London, in HUMAN GENETICS (2001)

This title will present all current knowledge of Batten disease from research to clinical evaluation. NCL is not well recognized in underdeveloped countries because the diagnostic technology is lacking. With the information in this volume, however, a specific diagnosis of NCL could be made. Also, specific familial mutations obtained through genetic tests may guide prenatal diagnoses for at-risk families.

Advances in Genetics presents an eclectic mix of articles of use to all human and molecular geneticists. They are written and edited by recognized leaders in the field and make this an essential series of books for anyone in the genetics field.
