In July last year, Mary Jonathan 'Jona' de Vera Beltran, 35 years old and a mother of two, woke up with a severe headache and unable to move one of her feet. A month later, she experienced shaking all over her body and vomiting, leading to her confinement at Regional 1 Medical Center in Dagupan City, Pangasinan. In the following days, Jona's condition worsened as she became paralyzed. An MRI test later revealed that she had demyelinating disease, a condition that damaged the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain, nerves leading to the eyes and spinal cord.

- A new study shows that delivery of gene therapy to correct the gene mutations that cause CLN2 disease, or Batten disease, directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has potential therapeutic effects. The study, conducted in nonhuman primates, is published in the peer-reviewed journal Human Gene Therapy. Click here to read the article now. CLN2 disease is a fatal, childhood autosomal recessive disorder cause by mutations in the CLN2 gene, which encodes tripeptidyl peptidase (TPP-1).
