Entry term(s) enfermedad por deficiencia de esfingomielinasa
Scope note: Forma clásica infantil de la enfermedad de Niemann-Pick, causada por la mutación en la ESFINGOMIELINA FOSFODIESTERASA. Se caracteriza por la acumulación de ESFINGOMIELINAS en las células del SISTEMA FAGOCÍTICO MONONUCLEAR y otras células de todo el organismo, lo que lleva a la muerte celular. Los signos clínicos incluyen ICTERICIA, hepatoesplenomegalia y lesión cerebral grave.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D052536
Scope note: The classic infantile form of Niemann-Pick Disease, caused by mutation in SPHINGOMYELIN PHOSPHODIESTERASE. It is characterized by accumulation of SPHINGOMYELINS in the cells of the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM and other cell throughout the body leading to cell death. Clinical signs include JAUNDICE, hepatosplenomegaly, and severe brain damage.
