In vivo antisense oligonucleotide reduction of NPC1 expression as a novel mouse model for Niemann Pick type C– associated liver disease

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a fatal autosomal recessive lipidosis that is characterized by lysosomal storage of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids. Patients exhibit prolonged neonatal jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, and progressive neurodegeneration that generally result in death by the teen years. Most clinical cases are caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. Current mouse models of NPC are not well...
