Abstract excerpt
Niemann-Pick type C disease (NP-C) is a rare, autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder. At least 96% of all NP-C patients link to NPC1 which encodes for a lysosomally-targeted protein. We describe the complete genomic sequence of 57,052 kb corresponding to the transcribed region of human NPC1 including several exonic and intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Sequencing of all exons, splice sites, and...
