What Does BDG Stand For?

BDG stands for Batten S Disease Gene

BDG, or Batten S Disease Gene, refers to a specific gene associated with Batten disease, a rare neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting children. The gene is implicated in the production of proteins that are crucial for cellular function in the nervous system. Mutations in the BDG can lead to the accumulation of toxic substances in cells, resulting in progressive neurological decline. Understanding this gene is vital for developing potential therapies and interventions for affected individuals.
