  NPDB; acid sphingomyelinase deficiency
  Definition: NPD type B is a rare inborn error of metabolism of autosomal recessive inheritance. Patients with Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPDB) have a benign course and prognosis. It is mainly a visceral form without neurologic manifestations despite the massive visceral involvement. NPDB is caused by mutations in the acid lysosomal sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-1 gene (SMPD1) (MIM.607608)

• Tay-Sachs disease
  18 June 2005

  Tay-Sachs disease, the most common form of GM2 gangliosidosis, results from mutations that affect the α-subunit locus on chromosome 15 and cause a severe deficiency of hexosaminidase A. This disease is especially prevalent among Jews, particularly among those of Eastern European (Ashkenazic) origin, in whom a carrier rate of 1 in 30 has been reported.
  Etiology
  Tay-Sachs disease is caused by mutation in the alpha subunit of the hexosaminidase A gene (HEXA) (MIM.606869)
