Plasma lyso-sphingomyelin levels are positively associated with clinical severity in acid sphingomyelinase deficiency
Introduction: A reliable biomarker is urgently needed in the diagnosis and management of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD, also known as Niemann Pick A, A/B, and B). Lyso-sphingomyelin (LSM) has previously been proposed as a biomarker for this disease. However, existing studies have not invest...
