Reducing GBA2 activity ameliorates neuropathology in niemann-pick type C mice [PDF]

, 2015
The enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA) hydrolyses glucosylceramide (GlcCer) in lysosomes. Markedly reduced GBA activity is associated with severe manifestations of Gaucher disease including neurological involvement.

Diagnostic tests for Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C): A critical review [PDF]

, 2016
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) is a neurovisceral lysosomal cholesterol trafficking and lipid storage disorder caused by mutations in one of the two genes, NPC1 or NPC2. Diagnosis has often been a difficult task, due to the wide range in age of onset
