Scope note: Grupo de enfermedades que se caracterizan por tener herencia autosómica recesiva y por la acumulación de esfingomielina en las células del SISTEMA RETICULOENDOTELIAL. Se dividen en 5 subtipos: A-E. El tipo A (forma infantil clásica) está causada por una deficiencia de ESFINGOMIELINA FOSFODIESTERASA y está presente a la edad de 6-12 meses, con hepatoesplenomegalia progresiva y deterioro neurológico. El tipo B (forma no neuronopática) se presenta en la niñez con hepatoesplenomegalia e infiltrados pulmonares. El tipo C (forma neuronopática crónica) se produce por un defecto intracelular en el transporte de colesterol y se divide en las formas infantil grave, infantil tardía, juvenil y hepatitis neonatal. La tipo D (Variante de Nueva Escocia) fenotípicamente es similar a la tipo C. La tipo E es una forma no neuronopática del adulto. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp101-4)

Scope note: A group of autosomal recessive disorders in which harmful quantities of lipids accumulate in the viscera and the central nervous system. They can be caused by deficiencies of enzyme activities (SPHINGOMYELIN PHOSPHODIESTERASE) or defects in intracellular transport, resulting in the accumulation of SPHINGOMYELINS and CHOLESTEROL. There are various subtypes based on their clinical and genetic differences.
