A Rare Cause of Splenomegaly: Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency Type B
Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the SMPD1 gene. It is a pan-ethnic, multisystemic, often progressive, and potentially life-limiting condition, with an age of onset ranging from the first days of life to adulthood.

Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) is a lysosomal hydrolase that degrades sphingomyelin into ceramide and phosphocholine. Recent crystallographic studies revealed the functional role of the N-terminal ASM saposin domain. ASM deficiency due to mutations in the ASM-encoding sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1) gene causes an autosomal recessive ...

La apolipoproteína D ralentiza el proceso de neurodegeneración en la enfermedad de Niemann-Pick tipo A [PDF]
La enfermedad de Niemann-Pick tipo A (NPA) es una enfermedad de depósito lisosomal de herencia autosómico-recesiva. En ella, la deficiencia de esfingomielinasa ácida provoca un gran acúmulo de esfingomielina en las membranas celulares. Esto conduce a una

Chronic visceral acid sphingomyelinase deficiency
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is rare lysosomal storage disease in which sphingomyelin accumulates due to deficiency of the enzyme acid sphingomyelinase. ASMD covers a broad clinical spectrum with varying degrees of severity of which the chronic visceral subtype is the least severe.
