Scope note: Trastorno autosómico recesivo del almacenamiento de los lípidos que se caracteriza por la acumulación de COLESTEROL y ESFINGOMIELINAS en las células de las VÍSCERAS y del SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL. La enfermedad de tipo C (o C1) y la de tipo D son trastornos alélicos causados por la mutación del gen NPC1, que codifica una proteína que interviene en el transporte intracelular de colesterol desde los LISOSOMAS. Clínicamente se manifiesta por hepatoesplenomegalia y síntomas neurológicos crónicos. La enfermedad de tipo D es una variante que afecta a personas con antepasados de Nueva Escocia.

Scope note: An autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder that is characterized by accumulation of CHOLESTEROL and SPHINGOMYELINS in cells of the VISCERA and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Type C (or C1) and type D are allelic disorders caused by mutation of the NPC1 gene, which encodes a protein that mediates intracellular cholesterol transport from LYSOSOMES. Clinical signs include hepatosplenomegaly and chronic neurological symptoms. Type D is a variant in people with a Nova Scotia ancestry.
