BATTEN disease is named after British paediatrician Frederick Batten, who first described it in 1903.
Writing about their study in the journal Disease Models and Mechanisms (DMM), the researchers revealed that they created a variety of mutations based on CLN3 defects identified in Batten disease patients, and studied their effects in a fission yeast protein highly similar to the gene.
Batten disease is a fatal, inherited disorder of the nervous system that begins in childhood.
