<p>Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a rare and fatal lysosomal storage disorder. Classically, children with NPC demonstrate neurological dysfunction with cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, seizures, vertical gaze palsy, motor impairment, dysphagia, psychotic episodes, and progressive dementia. In general, adolescent and adult onset forms have a more insidious onset and slower progression. As part of a multi-omics approach to address the genetic architecture of NPC1 disease, we have recently completed a transcriptome analysis using 43 primary NPC1 patient-derived fibroblasts from an NIH-cohort study (<a href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00344331">NCT00344331</a>) where extensive clinical data has been obtained regarding the natural history of the disease. Initial transcriptome analysis of this dataset demonstrated a set of 485 genes that are significantly upregulated in patient samples and subsequently downregulated in response to 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin treatment. <br></p>
