Neurofibrillary tangles similar to those in Alzheimer's disease have been reported in most juvenile/adult patients without amyloid beta protein (Abeta) deposits. Recently, we found deposits of Abeta in the form of diffuse plaques in three (31- and 32-year-old sisters and a 37-year-old man) of nine Niemann-Pick type C disease patients, who presented...
