| Abstract: | Niemann–Pick disease type C (NP-C), caused by mutations of either NPC1 or NPC2 gene, is an inherited lysosomal lipid storage disorder that is difficult to be diagnosed and treated. NP-C is rarely reported in China and so far very few literatures are available for Chinese clinical workers. To better characterize this disease in China and improve genetic counseling, mutational analyses of NPC1 gene were carried out in 6 unrelated Chinese patients. |
