Summary

Niemann–Pick disease type C (NPC) is an atypical, ultra-rare, lysosomal storage disease [1]. In contrast to classic lysosomal storage diseases [2], the lysosomal storage of macromolecules is not caused by an enzyme deficiency, but rather by a deficiency of the protein products of two distinct genes, NPC1 and NPC2 [3, 4]. These two proteins are highly conserved across species; despite intense study for many years, their basic functions and the sequence of pathogenic events remains uncertain.
