Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease is a lysosomal storage disease (LSD) characterised by impaired un-esterified cholesterol and sphingomyelin transport and metabolism, resulting in the accumulation of un-esterified cholesterol and glycosphingolipids within late endosomes and lysosomes. Affected animals present with hepatosplenomegaly, neurological degeneration and premature death.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
