The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) provides the following list of features that have been reported in people with this condition. Much of the information in the HPO comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. If available, the list includes a rough estimate of how common a feature is (its frequency). Frequencies are based on a specific study and may not be representative of all studies. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary for definitions of the terms below.
| Signs and Symptoms | Approximate number of patients (when available) |
| Abnormality of the spleen | - |

Monday, September 24, 2012
Location: Hyatt Regency,
Atlanta,
GA
Description: The main objective of the meeting is to bring together clinical research experts in JNCL to focus, for the first time, on establishing common ground for outcomes and infrastructure in support of Phase III Clinical Trials. Towards this end, it is anticipated that at the end of the meeting the participants will be able to identify potential clinical trial endpoints for Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL, CLN3 disease, Batten Disease); build upon the infrastructure for an International Patient Registry for JNCL and other NCL diseases, and provide opportunities for junior investigators pursuing research in JNCL to learn about and participate in the clinical research development process.
