چکیده
Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPD-B) is caused by a partial deficiency of acid sphingomyelinase activity and results in the accumulation of lysosomal sphingomyelin (SPM) predominantly in macrophages. Notably, SPM is not significantly elevated in the plasma, whole blood, or urine of NPD-B patients. Here, we show that the de-acylated form of sphingomyelin, lyso-SPM, is elevated approximately 5-fold in dried blood spots (DBS) from NPD-B patients and has no overlap with normal controls, making it a potentially useful biomarker.

Niemann Pick type A is a very rare hereditary disease with an incidence 1 in 20000-40000 live birth, which is calassified as a shingolipidoses. The disease is marked by the abnormal accumulation of sphingomyelin in most tissues, secondary to sphingomylinase deficiency. The most clinical manifestations are: Splenohepatomegaly–cherry red maculae-neuropathologic findings . This is a ...
متن کاملReliable Assay of Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency with the Mutation Q292K by Tandem Mass Spectrometry.
Niemann-Pick-A/B disease is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of acid sphingomyelinase (1 ). Efforts are underway to develop novel therapies for this disease, and some newborn screening centers have started to test for acid sphingomyelinase enzymatic activity in dried blood spots on newborn screening cards. Available assays for newborn screening include tandem mass spectrometry (...
متن کاملDirect multiplex assay of lysosomal enzymes in dried blood spots for newborn screening.
BACKGROUND Newborn screening for deficiency in the lysosomal enzymes that cause Fabry, Gaucher, Krabbe, Niemann-Pick A/B, and Pompe diseases is warranted because treatment for these syndromes is now available or anticipated in the near feature. We describe a multiplex screening method for all five lysosomal enzymes that uses newborn-screening cards containing dried blood spots as the enzyme sou...
متن کاملA novel, highly sensitive and specific biomarker for Niemann-Pick type C1 disease
BACKGROUND Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), are a heterogeneous group of rare disorders caused by defects in genes encoding for proteins involved in the lysosomal degradation of macromolecules. They occur at a frequency of about 1 in 5,000 live births, though recent neonatal screening suggests a higher incidence. New treatment options for LSDs demand a rapid, early diagnosis of LSDs if maxim...
