Transfection of NP-C fibroblasts with wild-type NPC1 cDNA resulted in correction of their excessive lysosomal storage of LDL cholesterol, thereby defining the critical role of NPC1 in regulation of intracellular cholesterol trafficking.

The true prevalence of Niemann-Pick disease type C has been underestimated because of confusing terminology, the lack of a definitive diagnostic test prior to the discovery of the abnormalities of cellular cholesterol processing, and failure to recognize the clinical phenotypes.
Identification of 58 novel mutations in Niemann‐Pick disease type C: Correlation with biochemical phenotype and importance of PTC1‐like domains in NPC1
- W. Park, J. O'brien, K. Snow
- BiologyHuman Mutation
- 1 October 2003
Mutation analysis on samples from 143 unrelated affected NPC patients is described using conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing as the primary mutation screening methods for NPC1 and NPC2, respectively, which raise the possibilities of an additional NPC complementation group(s) or non‐specificity of the biochemical testing for NPC.
The Niemann-Pick C1 Protein Resides in a Vesicular Compartment Linked to Retrograde Transport of Multiple Lysosomal Cargo*

It is concluded that a distinctive organelle containing NPC1 mediates retrograde lysosomal transport of endocytosed cargo that is not restricted to sterol.
Consensus clinical management guidelines for Niemann-Pick disease type C

- MedicineOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
- 6 April 2018
Clinical guidelines that define standard of care for NPC patients, foster shared care arrangements between expert centres and family physicians, and empower patients are developed that can inform care providers, care funders, patients and their carers of best practice of care.
