Niemann-Pick type C disease is an autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder of unknown origin mapped to chromosome 18q11-12 in most of the studied families. In contrast to the sphingomyelin lipidoses, in Niemann-Pick type C disease, fibroblasts are impaired in intracellular homeostatic responses to exogenous low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Biochemical heterogeneity of the disorder in relation to abnormal LDL processing is associated with various clinical presentations, but adult-onset Niemann-Pick type C disease is rare and has not been comprehensively characterized.
