Abstract | Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) is a rare autosomal recessive neurovisceral lysosomal disorder. Perinatal and early infantile onset NPC are the most severe types of the disease. Early infantile type is characterized by a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative course, which entails significant morbidity and usually results in death within 5 years. Miglustat, an iminosugar that selectively inhibits the glycosylceramide synthase enzyme, is known to stabilize or delay neurological progression in individuals with NPC, but its impact on affected infants is yet to be elucidated. We present two siblings with early infantile NPC due to the previously reported devastating homozygous mutation c.2279_2281delTCT in |
