Generation of the Niemann–Pick type C2 patient-derived iPSC line AKOSi001-A

Stem Cell Research, 2019
Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an incidence of 1:120,000 caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene. Only 5% of NPC patients suffer from mutations of the NPC2 gene.

Niemann Pick disease: a rare lysosomal storage disease

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal, 2023
Niemann Pick Disease (NPD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by lysosomal lipid storage. The disease is caused by deficiency of enzyme, acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) which leads to accumulation of sphingomyelin & other ...

A Niemann–Pick Disease Type C2 with Severe Pulmonary Involvement and Limited Therapeutic Options: A Case Report

Children, 2022
Niemann–Pick disease type C (NPC) is an autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder. There are two types, NPC1, which is the predominant form (95%), and the rare NPC2, which represents less than 5% of the reported cases.

“Double Hit” Homozygous Mutations for Two Different Rare Inborn Errors of Metabolism: A Burden for Countries with High Prevalences of Consangineous Marriages

Journal of Pediatric Research, 2018
Inborn errors of metabolism comprise a broad range of genetic diseases of which most are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Although being rare, there is a significant increase in their rate especially in countries where consanguineous marriages

Lysosomal and Mitochondrial Liaisons in Niemann-Pick Disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSD) are characterized by the accumulation of diverse lipid species in lysosomes. Niemann-Pick type A/B (NPA/B) and type C diseases Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) are progressive LSD caused by loss of function of distinct ...

Sertraline Treatment Can Mimic Niemann‐Pick Type C Biomarker Profile: A Diagnostic Pitfall

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oxysterols (cholestane‐3β,5α,6β‐triol and 7‐ketocholesterol) and N‐palmitoyl‐O‐phosphocholineserine (PPCS) are sensitive biomarkers for Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) screening. However, false‐positive results occur, with a biomarker profile suggestive of NPC despite the absence of pathogenic variants in genes involved in NPC or ...
