Niemann-Pick disease - Breda Genetics srl Breda Genetics srl

The eponym Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) encompasses two distinct metabolic defects. The first includes NPD types A and B and is due to deficiency of the acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) enzyme. The second defect, namely NPD type C, is mainly due to accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and glycosphingolipids within the late endosome/lysosome of all cells.
