General description<\/strong><\/h4>

Niemann-Pick syndrome is a metabolic disorder that belongs to the group of lysosomal storage diseases. In addition to damage to nerve tissue, other organs such as the liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and the gastrointestinal tract are often affected as well. Clinical symptoms include weakness and balance problems (ataxia), as well as absent spinal reflexes. As the condition progresses, tremors may also occur during purposeful movements (intentional tremor). The disease usually begins in the first few months of life and is fatal.<\/span><\/p>
