The Genetic Basis, Lung Involvement, and Therapeutic Options in Niemann–Pick Disease: A Comprehensive Review

Niemann–Pick Disease (NPD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease belonging to lysosomal storage disorders. Three types of NPD have been described: NPD type A, B, and C. NPD type A and B are caused by mutations in the gene <i>SMPD1</i> coding for sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1, with a...
