Niemann-Pick type C disease

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
We analyzed Niemann-Pick type C disease 1 (NP44406) gene in 12 patients with Niemann-Pick type C disease by sequencing both cDNA obtained from fibroblasts and genomic DNA. All the patients were compound heterozygotes.

Schizophrenic Phenotype and Therapeutic Course Associated With Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion in a Cohort Without Prior Diagnosis of Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, Volume 201, Issue 5, Page 331-337, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion is the greatest single genetic factor predisposing to schizophrenia. The prevalence of schizophrenia reported ranges from 2% to 30% in patients with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome with a still discussed phenotype.

Cholesterol‐Lowering Treatment Blocks Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) Associated Invasiveness and Drug Resistance in Breast and Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Models

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular process involved in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Deregulated cellular cholesterol is associated with treatment resistance and metastatic potential in cancer cells; however, the link between EMT and cholesterol is unclear.

Cyclodextrin triggers MCOLN1-dependent endo-lysosome secretion in Niemann-Pick type C cells[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
In specialized cell types, lysosome-related organelles support regulated secretory pathways, whereas in nonspecialized cells, lysosomes can undergo fusion with the plasma membrane in response to a transient rise in cytosolic calcium. Recent evidence also
