    Extractions: Subscribe now >> 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 patients, the brain. The clinical designations applied to NP are somewhat erratic. Patients are currently subdivided into 4 categories. In the first, called type A, enlargement of the liver and spleen are apparent early in infancy and profound brain damage is evident. These children rarely live beyond 18 months. In the second group, called type B, enlargement of the liver and spleen characteristically occur in the pre-teen years. Most of these patients also have pulmonary difficulties, but the brain is not affected. The fatty material that accumulates in types A and B is called sphingomyelin. This lipid is a major component of the membrane of all cells in the body. The metabolic defect in types A and B is insufficient activity of an enzyme called sphingomyelinase that initiates the biodegradation of sphingomyelin that arises from normal cell turnover. The term NP also includes 2 other variant forms called types C and D. Patients with these types have only moderate enlargement of their spleens and livers. They have brain involvement that can be extensive leading to inability to look up and down, difficulty in walking and swallowing, as well as progressive loss of vision and hearing. The disorder may appear early in life or its onset may be delayed into the teen years. Both types are characterized by an inability to mobilize cholesterol in the nerve cells in the brain where it accumulates and causes malfunction of these cells. The only difference between these two subtypes is that type D arises in people with a common ancestral background in Nova Scotia.

    About niemannpick Type C This disorder causes progressive deterioration of thecentral nervous system due to the body's inability to metabolize cholesterol.  
    http://www.fightforjessica.com/niemann.htm
    
    Extractions: This disorder causes progressive deterioration of the central nervous system due to the body's inability to metabolize cholesterol. Consequently, large amount of cholesterol accumulate within the liver, spleen, and brain. This metabolic disorder leads to a series of neurological problems. It has been termed as a childhood form of Alzheimer's. Children with this disorder rarely live into their teenage years. Currently, there is no treatment for this disease. Until recently, there has been little known about NP-C. Without a cure or treatment, victims of this syndrome gradually lose their ability to look up and down, walk, talk, control their muscles, eat, and grow. It is ultimately fatal. Genetic engineering is being examined as a possible definitive cure. Accelerated research is key to saving the lives of NP-C sufferers, most of whom are children. As Coach Parseghian has said, "There will be no cure without research and no research without funding." He also has said, "We are in a race against time." Government funding, to this point in time, has been inadequate. Private donations are essential to continue the progress of this research.

    http://www.jewishgenetics.org/niepic.htm
    
    Extractions: This disease is caused by a deficiency of an enzyme called sphingomyelinase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down a specific fat in the body. Lack of sphingomyelinase causes an accumulation of this fat in various body organs. There are several subtypes of this condition. Type A is seen with increased frequency in those of Jewish ancestry. In type A, accumulation also occurs in the brain and nervous system which causes rapid deterioration and death 2-3 years of age. No cure or effective treatment is available. Disease frequency: 1 in 40,000 for type A in the Jewish population. Carrier frequency: As high as 1 in 70 for those of Jewish ancestry. Diagnosis: Laboratory testing looking for deficiency of a specific enzyme or by genetic testing of the Niemann-Pick gene. Inheritance: Autosomal Recessive Carrier testing: Available by testing of the Niemann-Pick gene. Prenatal diagnosis: Available to those with an affected child or to couples identified to be at risk by carrier testing.

    Extractions: Niemann-Pick disease Disease Type: Lysosomal storage / LDL degradation. Aetiology Figure 18.01.01 - Normal LDL processing. LDL particle arrives at cell membrane and is brought into a 'coated pit', which closes in, to form an endosome. A lysosme then fuses with the endosome to form an endolysosome, lysosomes contain many different digestive enzymes, which break down the LDL particle into its constituent fats and amino acids. Niemann-Pick disease can be subdivided into A, B, and C types. NPA and NPB are caused by an error in acid sphingomyelinase (ASM). an enzyme involved in the breakdown of sphingolipids. ASM is found in lysosomes, and is directly involved in the breakdown of LDL particles. Niemann Pick Type C (NPC), is subdivided into two sub-types, NPC1, and NPC2. NPC1 has been linked to a gene on Chromosome 18, whereas NPC2 has been linked to a different gene on chromosome 14. NPC1, will be covered later. NPC2, is caused by a defect in a gene called HE1, HE1 encodes a membrane protein. Surprisingly, HE1 was first implicated in sperm maturation in the testis. However, it seems that HE1 has more body-wide roles. Symptoms NPA, and NPB:

    Extractions: and helping them find a cure for NPC, the disease that haunts them. WHAT IS Niemann-Pick, Type C DISEASE? NP-C is a genetic pediatric neurodegenerative disorder which causes progressive deterioration of the nervous system. Adults and children with NP-C are not able to metabolize cholesterol properly. Cholesterol accumulates within the cells of the liver, spleen and brain. This excess storage of cholesterol damages the nervous system resulting in deterioration of the body. NP-C is an autosomal recessive disease. Both parents carry one copy of the abnormal gene without manifesting any sign of the disease. A child with NP-C inherits two copies of the abnormal gene. There is one chance in four that the child of two carriers will be affected with NP-C and one chance in two that the child will be a carrier. Symptoms include difficulty with upward and downward eye movement, hearing loss, slurred or slow speech, difficulty swallowing, loss of motor skills including unsteady balance, irregular gait and frequent falls. As the disease progresses, dementia, seizures and ultimately death occur. Affected children usually do not live into their teenage years; and although the adult onset is slower to progress, the outcome is the same..

    http://www.nfjgd.org/diseases/niemann-pick.shtml
    
    Extractions: Diseases: Niemann-Pick Disease he first case of infantile-onset Niemann-Pick disease was described in 1914 by the German neurologist Albert Niemann. 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.
