Abstract excerpt
Deficient activity of human lysosomal hydrolase, acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), results in the neuronopathic (type A) and non-neuronopathic (type B) forms of Niemann-Pick disease (NPD). A deficiency of ASM is known to deprive lymphoblasts of their response to apoptotic induction by X-ray irradiation. To elucidate the genetic heterogeneity of apoptotic induction in NPD cells, we investigated radiation-induced...
