V S Tanphaichitr, and V Suvatte, and S Tuchinda, and C Mahasandana, and D A Wenger

The first case of Niemann-Pick disease Type A in a Thai infant was reported. The patient also had abnormal hemoglobin E. The diagnosis was based on the clinical features, bone marrow findings and sphingomyelinase levels in the culture of skin fibroblasts. The autosomal recessive mode of inheritance was confirmed in this case.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D009542 Niemann-Pick Diseases A group of autosomal recessive disorders in which harmful quantities of lipids accumulate in the viscera and the central nervous system. They can be caused by deficiencies of enzyme activities (SPHINGOMYELIN PHOSPHODIESTERASE) or defects in intracellular transport, resulting in the accumulation of SPHINGOMYELINS and CHOLESTEROL. There are various subtypes based on their clinical and genetic differences.

D006446 Hemoglobin E An abnormal hemoglobin that results from the substitution of lysine for glutamic acid at position 26 of the beta chain. It is most frequently observed in southeast Asian populations.
D006455 Hemoglobins, Abnormal Hemoglobins characterized by structural alterations within the molecule. The alteration can be either absence, addition or substitution of one or more amino acids in the globin part of the molecule at selected positions in the polypeptide chains. Abnormal Hemoglobins
