DUBLIN, November 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Niemann-Pick Type C Disease Forecast in 12 Major Markets 2017-2027" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Niemann-Pick type C (NP-C) disease is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder with a variety of neurovisceral manifestations. It is caused by mutations in either NPC1 (more common) or NPC2 (less common) genes that lead to accumulation of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in tissues. NP-C is divided according to the age at onset of symptoms, with an earlier onset of the disease predicting higher severity and poorer prognosis.
