Batten’s disease is a new one on me. Further investigation shows it’s a disease of a malfunctioning lipid metabolism, and consequently lends itself to being diagnosed by histological staining. Which is sometimes the problem in my line of work. Such glib statements tend to overlook the fact that children with Batten disease become blind, bedridden, and demented before dying much sooner than they otherwise would.
One lives and learns…
