Patterned Purkinje cell degeneration in mouse models of Niemann‐Pick type C disease
13 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Niemann Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is an inherited, autosomal recessive, lipid-storage disorder with major neurological involvement. Purkinje cell death is a prominent feature of the neuropathology of NPC. We have investigated Purkinje cell death in two murine models of NPC1, BALB/c npc(nih) and C57BLKS/J spm. In both cases, extensive Purkinje cell death was found in the cerebellum. The pattern of Purkinje cell...
