Abstract
Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) is a lysosomal storage disorder that can lead to severe complications if not promptly treated. This case aims to highlight the critical importance of early awareness of ASMD and to introduce, for the first time in the literature, a new and highly effective treatment option for children.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports is an open access journal that publishes molecular and metabolic reports describing investigations that use the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology for studies of normal and diseased states. In addition to original research articles, sequence reports, brief communication reports and letters to the editor are considered.
