Batten disease is a rare, fatal genetic disorder that affects children. Currently, no effective treatment exists for the disease. These ultimately kills all who're affected. Dachshunds also suffer from Batten disease, and now researchers from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine, in collaboration with BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., have developed a cure for the disease that has significantly delayed the appearance and progression of symptoms in the Dachshunds. The effectiveness of the processing in the dogs has been so encouraging that plans are under way to initiate human trials of the therapy in children.
