A therapy with miglustat, 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin and allopregnanolone restores splenic cholesterol homeostasis in Niemann-pick disease type C1
Abstract Background Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is an autosomal-recessive lipid-storage disorder with an estimated minimal incidence of 1/120,000 live births. Besides other neuronal and visceral symptoms, NPC1 patients develop spleen dysfunction, isolated spleno- or hepatosplenomegaly and in...
