Subsequently, five subtypes have been identified, but only Type A is more frequent in Ashkenazi Jewish populations. Type A disease is a severe neurodegenerative disorder of infancy. By six months of age, affected babies experience feeding difficulty, recurrent vomiting and enlargement of the spleen and liver, which causes the abdomen to appear distended. Some have a characteristic "cherry-red spot" in the retina of the eye. Death usually occurs by two to three years of age, due to infections such as pneumonia. Type B disease is a milder disorder with no neurologic involvement. Affected individuals usually come to medical attention in childhood due to enlarged livers and spleens. With adolescence and adulthood the major symptoms are associated with pulmonary disease, due to involvement of the lungs. Patients with Type B disease may survive into the fourth and fifth decades of life. Type B Niemann-Pick disease can also occur among Ashkenazi Jewish individuals, but it is not as common as Type A Niemann-Pick disease in this group. The specific biochemical defect in both Types A and B Niemann-Pick disease is the deficiency of an enzyme, sphingomyelinase, which normally degrades a fatty substance known as sphingomyelin. The enzyme defect leads to the accumulation of sphingomyelin, primarily in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and brain. Individuals affected with Type A disease have little or no (0-5% of normal) sphingomyelinase activity, whereas persons with Type B have 5-10% of normal activity, thereby accounting for their milder manifestations.

http://www.doucetfamily.org/interest/Niemann.HTM

Extractions: Niemann-Pick Disease ("Niemann-Pick") is actually a term for a group of diseases which affect metabolism and whihc are caused by specific genetic mutations. The three most commonly recognized forms of the disease are Type A, B and C. Types A and B Niemann-Pick are both caused by the deficiency of a specific enzyme activity, 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 death and the malfunction of major organ systems. Types A and B are both caused by the same enzymatic deficiency and there is a growing concensus that the two forms represent opposite ends of a continuous scale. People with Type A generally have little or no ASM production (less than 1% of normal) while those with Type B have approximately 10% of the normal level of ASM. While both Type A and B hav ASM activity that is significantly lower than normal, the clinical prognosis for these two groups of patients is very different.

Extractions: Toggle English Spanish Informaci³n general Sntomas Tratamiento Prevenci³n Definici³n: La enfermedad de Niemann-Pick es causada por mutaciones gen©ticas especficas. Las cuatro formas de la enfermedad de Niemann-Pick se caracterizan por una acumulaci³n de esfingomielina y colesterol en las c©lulas, particularmente en las c©lulas de ³rganos importantes como el hgado y el bazo. Las tres formas m¡s conocidas de la enfermedad son los tipos A, B y C. Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo: Todos los tipos de Niemann-Pick son enfermedades gen©ticas que se heredan de forma autos³mica recesiva. 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.

http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/5271.html

Extractions: Niemann-Pick Disease Like Gaucher's disease, Niemann-Pick disease is a lysosomal storage disorder in which a missing enzyme prevents the metabolism of a certain compound that then accummulates in the cells. Symptoms There are three types of this disease: Type A is a genetic disorder in which sphyingomyelin (ceramide phosphorylcholine) accumulates in cells of infants and young children. This condition causes the liver and the spleen to become enlarged and the child not to thrive. There is rapid degeneration of the nerves that leads to death by age two or three. Type B, like type A, is a genetic disorder in which sphyingomyelin accumulates in cells. A patient may develop fatty, irregular yellow patches or nodules on the skin of the eyelids, neck or back that is associated with disturbances in cholesterol metabolism. A patient may also have skin discoloration and enlarged liver, spleen and lymph nodes. However, persons with type B have little or no nerve involvement and survive into adulthood. Type C is caused by an error in cholesterol metabolism that results in unesterified cholesterol accumulating in cells. Its symptoms include variable enlargement of the liver and spleen, an increasing inability to control muscle movement, seizures, disordered muscle tone, dementia and sometimes fatal neonatal liver disease. It usually appears in late childhood with death in the patient's 20s. When it appears in adulthood it can produce psychosis and dementia.

Extractions: Spectrum of phenotypic variability in Niemann-Pick type C disease: A cause of delayed diagnosis C Prasad, C Pushpanathan, R Morris, AJ Davis, FE Dougherty BACKGROUND: Niemann-Pick type C (NP-C) disease exhibits marked heterogeneity in its phenotype. This can pose diagnostic dilemmas and even delayed recognition of this condition. RESULTS: In each of the three cases the clinical presentation was varied, one as neonatal hepatitis, the second with megaloblastic anemia, chronic hepatitis and short stature, and the third with neonatal hepatitis and chronic respiratory failure. Definitive diagnosis was established in each case by demonstration of defective cholesterol esterification in skin fibroblasts.

Type A Niemann-Pick is a severe neurologic disease which generally leads to death by 2 to 3 years of age. It is believed that the majority of Niemann-Pick cases are Type A.
