Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in molecular genetics of the Niemann-Pick group of diseases are reviewed. Types A and B Niemann-Pick disease are characterized by a deficiency of one of lysosomal hydrolases, i.e. acid sphingomyelinase. The enzyme was partially purified from a large amount of urine and the cDNA clones, encoding acid sphingomyelinase, were cloned. The gene encoding the enzyme has been localized at the region p...
