In OMIM and Gene2phenotype NCP2 (also known as HE1) is associated with Niemann-pick disease, type C2. OMIM report that Naureckiene et al. (2000) (PMID: 11125141) identified homozygous mutations in the HE1 gene in 2 patients with Niemann-Pick disease type C. Park et al. (2003) (PMID: 12955717) identified 7 different mutations in the NPC2 gene as the basis of Niemann-Pick disease type C and Verot et al. (2007) (PMID: 17470133) identified 5 different mutations in the NPC2 gene in 6 unrelated patients with NPC2. Millat et al. (2001) (PMID: 11567215) reported the first comprehensive study of 8 unrelated families with NPC2 and among these patients 5 different mutations were identified, all with a severe impact on the protein.Created: 25 Jul 2018, 10:21 a.m.
