Summary
This review provides a summary of current approaches to Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) diag-nostics with an emphasis on novel laboratory techniques. NP-C is a severe autosomal recessive neurovisceral disorder and the recent availability of disease-modifying therapies increases the importance of its timely diagnosis. The hereditary deficiency of cholesterol transporter proteins (NPC1 or NPC2) in NP-C leads to abnormal intracellular lipid trafficking. Clinical suspicion for NP-C has to be confirmed by biochemical and/or molecular genetic methods. Novel biomarkers in serum or plasma and advanced sequencing techniques now have a prominent role in NP-C diagnostics. In a subset of patients, it is necessary to use several complementary techniques for confirmation of NP-C diagnosis, including advanced biochemical and cellular assays discussed in the paper. These methods therefore have to be available in a specialized laboratory.Niemann-Pickova choroba typu C – diagnostika – intracelulární transport cholesterolu – biomarkery – lyzosfi ngolipidy – oxysteroly – fi lipinový test
