Niemann-Pick disease (NP) refers to a group of inherited metabolic disorders known as the leukodystrophies or lipid storage diseases in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance (lipids) accumulate in the spleen, liver, lungs, bone marrow, and the brain. Symptoms may include lack of muscle coordination, brain degeneration, learning problems, loss of muscle tone, increased sensitivity to touch, spasticity, feeding and swallowing difficulties, slurred speech, and an enlarged liver and spleen. There may be clouding of the cornea and a characteristic cherry-red halo develops around the center of the retina. The disease has 4 related types. Type A

A B C D ... OVERIG Ziekte van Niemann-Pick Synoniemen 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.

10. The NTSAD Diseases Family: Niemann-Pick Disease The less common niemannpick disease, Type B, a chronic non-neurological form, Infantile, or Type A, niemann-pick Disease occurs most frequently and it http://www.ntsad.org/pages/n-pick.htm

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.

The Niemann-Pick Diseases, in common with many other inherited diseases of the metabolism, are a source of great suffering and distress to individuals unfortunate to have inherited them and to their families. The diseases strike with devastating consequences and without warning, leaving families bewildered as to why this has happened to them. To add to their grief, the onset of disease symptoms is often delayed for many years and other children, born previously or subsequently, may also have inherited the disease. A great deal of research is taking place into the cause of the diseases, but currently there are no known effective treatments. The purpose of this website is to provide information about Niemann-Pick Diseases to affected families to assist them in understanding the cause of the disease and, hopefully, to relieve their distress and confusion in some small way. In addition the website aims to provide information to meet a wide range of enquiries from parents, affected individuals medical professionals, scientific investigators, fund raisers, grant providers, welfare groups and other interested parties. : Information which appears on this Website is for the express purpose of raising awareness and providing up to date information about Niemann-Pick disease. All medical information should be reviewed with your doctor before being acted upon.
