Niemann-Pick disease type C

TL;DR: The primary laboratory diagnosis requires living skin fibroblasts to demonstrate accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in perinuclear vesicles (lysosomes) after staining with filipin, and genotyping of patients is useful to confirm the diagnosis in the latter patients and essential for future prenatal diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Niemann-Pick disease type C.

TL;DR: Identification of mutations revealed a complex picture of molecular heterogeneity, allowing genotype ‐ phenotype correlations for both genes and providing insights into structure ‐ function relationships for the NPC1 protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic Cyclodextrin Treatment of Murine Niemann-Pick C Disease Ameliorates Neuronal Cholesterol and Glycosphingolipid Storage and Disease Progression

TL;DR: Treating Niemann-Pick type C mice with CD delayed clinical disease onset, reduced intraneuronal storage and secondary markers of neurodegeneration, and significantly increased lifespan of both Npc1−/− and Npc2+/− mice.
