Estimated prevalence of Niemann-Pick type C disease in Quebec. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
Niemann–Pick type C (NP-C) disease is an autosomal recessive disease caused by variants in the NPC1 or NPC2 genes. It has a large range of symptoms depending on age of onset, thus making it difficult to diagnose.

Peripheral neuropathy as a very rare symptom in a patient with Niemann–Pick type C with negative enzymatic evaluation: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Niemann–Pick is a rare metabolic disease distinguished by lysosomal storage defects. This disease is characterized by sphingomyelinase acid deficiency, causing its accumulation in various organs such as the kidneys, spleen, liver, brain, and ...

Niemann-Pick disease type C with kidney involvement

Human Pathology: Case Reports, 2021
Niemann-Pick disease type C is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by defects in lipid trafficking, typically involving the liver, spleen, and central nervous system. Only rare reports of renal involvement of Niemann-Pick disease have been reported

Case Report: Be Aware of “New” Features of Niemann–Pick Disease: Insights From Two Pediatric Cases

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Niemann–Pick disease is a relatively common lysosomal storage disease. Cholestatic liver disease is a typical clinical phenotype of Niemann–Pick disease in infancy. The diagnosis is traditionally based on Niemann–Pick cells in bone marrow smears or liver

LC-MS/MS multiplex analysis of lysosphingolipids in plasma and amniotic fluid: A novel tool for the screening of sphingolipidoses and Niemann-Pick type C disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The biological diagnosis of sphingolipidoses currently relies on the measurement of specific enzymatic activities and/or genetic studies. Lysosphingolipids have recently emerged as potential biomarkers of sphingolipidoses and Niemann-Pick type C in ...

Cytosolic Glucosylceramide regulates endolysosomal function in Niemann-Pick type C disease [PDF]

, 2019
A new paradigm for Niemann-Pick C disease is presented where lysosomal storage leads to a deficit in cytoplasmic glucosylceramide (GlcCer) where it performs important functions.
