Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPDA, MIM: 257200) is an autosomal recessive sphingolipidosis caused by lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) deficiency. A cluster of genes located at chromosome 11p15 have been reported to be imprinted genes, such as TSSC5, TSSC3, and ZNF215 that flanking SMPD1 gene. It was reported by a few recent studies that SMPD1 gene was paternally imprinted and maternally...
