Oxidative stress in NPC1 deficient cells: protective effect of allopregnanolone

TL;DR: It is suggested that oxidative stress might contribute to the NPC disease and allopregnanolone might be beneficial in the treatment of the disease, at least in part, due to its ability to restore the intracellular redox state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebrospinal fluid β‐glucocerebrosidase activity is reduced in parkinson's disease patients

TL;DR: The objectives of this study were to confirm whether there is reduced β‐glucocerebrosidase activity in the CSF of GBA1 mutation carrier and noncarrier PD patients and verify if other lysosomal enzymes show altered activity inThe CSF.
Journal ArticleDOI

SMPD1 Mutation Update: Database and Comprehensive Analysis of Published and Novel Variants

TL;DR: The information reviewed in this article, providing new insights into the genotype/phenotype correlation, is extremely valuable to facilitate diagnosis and genetic counseling of families affected by NPA/B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional characterization of the common c.-32-13T>G mutation of GAA gene: identification of potential therapeutic agents

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that resveratrol treatment resulted in a significant increase of normal spliced GAA mRNA, GAA protein content and activity in cells transfected with a mutant minigene and in fibroblasts from patients carrying the c-32-13T>G mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shortened primary cilium length and dysregulated Sonic hedgehog signaling in Niemann-Pick C1 disease.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that defective Shh signaling is responsible for abnormal morphogenesis of the cerebellum of Npc1-deficient mice and show, for the first time, that the formation of the primary cilium is altered in NPC1 disease.
