متن کاملNiemann-Pick disease type C
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is an autosomal recessive neurovisceral lipid storage with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes. At the cellular level, the disorder is characterized by accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and glycolipids in the lysosomal/late endosomal system. Approximatively 95% of patients have mutations in the NPC1 gene (mapped at 18q11) which encodes a large membran...
متن کاملAberrant Promoter Methylation Profile of Niemann-Pick Type C1 Gene in Cardiovascular Disease
Background: The protein of Niemann-pick type C1 (NPC1) gene promotes the egress of cholesterol from late endosomes and lysosomes to other cellular compartments and contributes to a process known as reverse cholesterol transport. This study aimed to examine whether promoter methylation of NPC1 is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: Fifty CVD patients and 50 healthy sub...
