Recommendations for clinical monitoring of patients with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD)
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), a rare lysosomal storage disease, results from mutations in SMPD1, the gene encoding acid sphingomyelinase (ASM). As a result, sphingomyelin accumulates in multiple organs including spleen, liver, lung, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and in the most severe form, in the CNS and peripheral nerves.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency: Sharing Experience of Disease Monitoring and Severity in France [PDF]
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare inherited lipid storage disorder caused by a deficiency in lysosomal enzyme acid sphingomyelinase which results in the accumulation of sphingomyelin, predominantly within cells of the reticuloendothelial system located in numerous organs, such as the liver, spleen, lungs, and central nervous system ...

Optimization of a Histopathological Biomarker for Sphingomyelin Accumulation in Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency [PDF]
Niemann-Pick disease (types A and B), or acid sphingomyelinase deficiency, is an inherited deficiency of acid sphingomyelinase, resulting in intralysosomal accumulation of sphingomyelin in cells throughout the body, particularly within those of the reticuloendothelial system. These cellular changes result in hepatosplenomegaly and pulmonary infiltrates

Current and Emerging Treatments for Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency
DrugsAcid sphingomyelinase deficiency is an ultra-rare disease characterised by generalised storage of sphingomyelin, caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid sphingomyelinase, owing to the presence of biallelic pathogenic variants in the SMPD1 gene. The main disease manifestations are in the liver, spleen, lung and bone - with some patients having

MRI in an unusually protracted neuronopathic variant of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency
Neuroradiology, 1999MRI was performed in two siblings with the neuropathic sphingomyelinase deficiency caused by identical mixed heterozygosity in the structural acid sphingomyelinase gene. The clinical phenotype of the cases is unique in showing a rather protracted course, both having reached the fourth decade.

The pathogenesis and treatment of acid sphingomyelinase‐deficient Niemann–Pick disease
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2007SummaryPatients with types A and B Niemann–Pick disease (NPD) have an inherited deficiency of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) activity. The clinical spectrum of this disorder ranges from the infantile, neurological form that results in death by 3 years of age (type A NPD) to the non‐neurological form (type B NPD) that is compatible with survival into ...

In the younger sister, myocardial dysfunction was refractory to treatment, resulting in death. At autopsy, the distal branches of the coronary arteries showed narrowing of the

[Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency: A review].
La Revue de medecine interneAcid sphingomyelinase deficiency, formerly known as Niemann-Pick disease types B, A/B, and B, is a rare genetic disorder. It is an inherited autosomal recessive disease, linked to mutations in the SMPD1 gene. It is a lysosomal storage disease that leads to the accumulation of sphingomyelin mainly in macrophages, resulting in a multisystemic phenotype ...
