About Niemann Pick Disease Type-C
Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is a genetic, neurodegenerative disorder which causes progressive deterioration of the nervous system.
It usually affects children by interfering with their ability to metabolize cholesterol. Adult onset may also occur. Large amounts of cholesterol accumulate within the liver, spleen, and brain which leads to a series of neurological problems. Patients with NPC typically experience systemic, neurological and psychiatric symptoms that can be debilitating and significantly impact functional abilities.
