BACKGROUND The biological diagnosis of sphingolipidoses currently relies on the measurement of specific enzymatic activities and/or genetic studies. Lysosphingolipids have recently emerged as potential biomarkers of sphingolipidoses and Niemann-Pick type C in plasma. METHODOLOGY We developed a sensitive and specific method enabling the simultaneous quantification of lysosphingolipids by LC-MS...

doi:10.5152/tjh.2011.15 The peripheral blood smear is an easy, inexpensive, and very useful diagnostic method. Although some think that it has lost its importance following the development of new automated complete blood counts, the peripheral blood smear should remain a primary diagnostic tool for clinicians, especially pediatricians. Peripheral blood smears aid clinicians in choosing the appr...
The Niemann-Pick disease group is now divided into two distinct entities: (1) acid sphingomyelinase-deficient Niemann-Pick disease (ASM-deficient NPD) resulting from mutations in the SMPD1 gene and encompassing type A and type B as well as intermediate forms; (2) Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) including also type D, resulting from mutations in either the NPC1 or the NPC2 gene. Both Niemann-...
In 1914 Albert Niemann, a German pediatrician who primarily studied infant metabolism, published a description of an Ashkenazi Jewish infant with jaundice [5], nervous system and brain impairments, swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), and an enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly). He reported that these anatomical disturbances resulted in the premature death of the child at the age of...
The abnormal and variable increase in levels of free sphingoid bases recently described in fibroblasts from Niemann-Pick C patients allowed us to investigate the modulation of protein kinase C in vivo by endogenous sphingosine. The specific binding of [20-3H]phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate to the regulatory domain of membrane-bound protein kinase C was significantly decreased in fibroblasts from pati...
Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) is a polytopic endosomal membrane protein required for efflux of LDL-derived cholesterol from endosomes, and mutations of this protein are associated with Niemann-Pick disease type C, a fatal neurodegenerative disease. At least one prevalent mutation (I1061T) has been shown to cause a folding defect, which results in failure of endosomal localization, leading to a lo...
The cholesterol content of the sperm membrane is regulated during both maturation in the epididymis and capacitation in the female tract, two processes required for the spermatozoa to acquire their fertilising ability. Because Niemann-Pick disease, type C2 (NPC2) protein is one of the most abundant components of the epididymal fluid and contains a functional cholesterol-binding site that can tr...
Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant in many species. Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene, which regulates lipid transport through the endocytic pathway. NPC disease is characterized by massive intracellular accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and other lipids in lysosomal vesicles. We exa...
BACKGROUND Niemann-Pick disease and β-thalassemia are distinct conditions with specific clinical and morphological manifestations. β-thalassemia is the most common inherited blood disorder in Iran whereas Niemann-Pick disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, is rarely found in this country. CASE PRESENTATION This 5-month old girl, a known case of β-thalassemia major was hospitalized for failure...
