What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Niemann-Pick disease? Niemann-Pick disease (NP) is an inherited metabolic disorder in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance accumulate in the spleen, liver, lungs, bone marrow, and, in some people, the brain. The disease is subdivided into 4 related types. In types A and B, insufficient activity of an enzyme called sphingomyelinase causes the build up of toxic amounts of sphingomyelin, a fatty substance present in every cell of the body.

    Niemann-Pick Disease
    IN 1914 ALBERT NIEMANN, A German pediatrician, described a young child with an enlarged liver and spleen, enlarged lymph glands, swelling and a darkening of the skin of the face. The child had brain and nervous system impairment and died in less than six months, before the age of two. Later, in the 1920's, Luddwick Pick studied tissues after the death of such children and provided evidence of a new disorder, distinct from those storage disorders previously described. T oday, there are three separate diseases that carry the name Niemann-Pick: Type A, Type B and Type C. The majority of the infants affected with the acute infantile form of Niemann-Pick described above (now called Type A) are of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. The less common Niemann-Pick disease, Type B, a chronic non-neurological form, shows the same ethnic predilection as Type A. It has been estimated that about 1/1000 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier for one of these forms of Niemann-Pick Disease. Niemann-Pick Type C, a biochemically and genetically distinct from of the disease, does not show this ethnic predilection and occurs with similar frequency in all populations. I nfantile, or Type A, Niemann-Pick Disease occurs most frequently and it accounts for about 85% of all cases of the disease. Its effects begin in the first few months of life; by six months of age feeding difficulties, progressive loss of early motor skills and enlargement of the abdominal organs are usually present. Continued poor feeding causes children to take on an emaciated look accompanied by abdominal distension. Their skin may develop a brownish-yellow discoloration, and about one-third of affected children have a cherry-red spot in the eye similar to that found in children with Tay-Sachs Disease. There is progressive loss of motor and mental function and death usually occurs between two and three years of age.

Today, there are three separate diseases that carry the name Niemann-Pick: Type A is the acute infantile form, Type B is a less common, chronic, non-neurological form, while Type C is a biochemically and genetically distinct form of the disease. Recently, the major locus responsible for Niemann-Pick type C (NP-C) was cloned from chromosome 18, and found to be similar to proteins that play a role in cholesterol homeostasis. Usually, cellular cholesterol is imported into lysosomes - 'bags of enzymes' in the cell - for processing, after which it is released. Cells taken from NP-C patients have been shown to be defective in releasing cholesterol from lysosomes. This leads to an excessive build-up of cholesterol inside lysosomes, causing processing errors. NPC1 was found to have known sterol-sensing regions similar to those in other proteins, which suggests it plays a role in regulating cholesterol traffic.

    Sfingomyeline Lipidose
    Sfingomyelinase Deficiëntie Korte beschrijving
    De ziekte van Niemann-Pick is een zeldzame erfelijke en aangeboren stofwisselingsziekte die valt onder de lysosomale stapelingsziekten. Lysosomale stapelingsziekten zijn aandoeningen waarbij er door een verandering in het erfelijk materiaal een stoornis is in de lysosomen. Lysosomen zijn kleine organen (organellen) in een cel, die met behulp van enzymen -enzymen begeleiden bepaalde chemische reacties- zorgen voor de afbraak en het hergebruik van veel stoffen. Het ontbreken of niet volledig functioneren van een van deze enzymen zorgt ervoor dat (afval)stoffen zich opstapelen in het lysosoom. Deze opeenstapeling is giftig voor de cel en bemoeilijkt daardoor het functioneren van het lysosoom, en uiteindelijk ook van de hele cel. Dit veroorzaakt ten slotte schade in weefsels en organen. Vanwege het ophopen van (afval)stoffen wordt over lysosomale stapelingsziekten gesproken. De ziekte van Niemann-Pick wordt veroorzaakt door het ontbreken van het enzym sfingomyelinase. Hierdoor ontstaat een stapeling van een bepaald type vetten, sfingolipiden, in verschillende organen. Er bestaan minstens vijf typen van de aandoening. Type A komt het meest voor. Symptomen zijn vergroting van de lever en milt, afwijkingen aan het centraal zenuwstelsel, en een vertraagde lichamelijke en verstandelijke ontwikkeling. Het opzetten van de buik, overgeven, diarree, koorts, en een bruin-gele verkleuring van de huid treden op rond zes maanden na de geboorte, waarna de aandoening langzaam verergert. De meeste kinderen met deze aandoening worden niet ouder dan drie jaar.

    Niemann-Pick Type C Disease... Niemann-Pick Type C disease (NP-C) is a genetic, pediatric, neurodegenerative disorder. It is responsible for the build-up of cholesterol in such areas as the spleen and liver and for accumulation of gangliosides in the brain. This ganglioside build-up results in the eventual damage to the nervous system. This metabolic disorder leads to a series of neurological problems that are ultimately fatal. We Need Your Help!

Los tipos A y B de Niemann-Pick son causados por le deficiencia de la actividad de una enzima espec­fica, la esfingomielinasa ¡cida (ASM), si esta no est¡ o no funciona de manera adecuada, la esfingomielina no puede ser metabolizada de manera adecuada y se acumula dentro de la c©lula provocando eventualmente la muerte celular y el mal funcionamiento de sistemas org¡nicos importantes. El tipo D de Niemann-Pick es muy diferente de los tipos A y B. Los pacientes con tipo C no son capaces de metabolizar el colesterol y otros l­pidos de manera adecuada. Consecuentemente se acumulan cantidades excesivas de colesterol dentro del h­gado y el bazo y se acumulan cantidades excesivas de otros l­pidos en el cerebro. El defecto del metabolismo ocasionalmente conduce a reducci³n secundaria de la actividad de la esfingomielinasa ¡cida en algunas c©lulas.

    Patient Overview of Niemann-Pick Disease iemann-Pick Disease (NPD) refers to a group of inherited diseases. The three most commonly recognized forms are called Types A, B and C. The name Niemann-Pick derives from two German pediatricians - Albert Niemann, the first doctor to identify the Type A form of the disease in 1914, and Ludwick Pick, who first identified the Type B form of the disease in 1927. Types A and B NPD are both caused by the deficient activity of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM). This enzyme is ordinarily found in special compartments within cells called lysosomes and is required to metabolize a special lipid called sphingomyelin . If ASM is absent or not functioning properly, this lipid cannot be metabolized properly and is accumulated within the cell, eventually causing cell and organ system abnormalities. Although Types A and B NPD are both caused by the same enzyme deficiency and are variants of the same disease, the clinical prognosis for these two groups of patients is very different (see Signs and Symptoms Abnormalities in the ASM Gene that Cause Type A or B NPD
