Niemann-pick disease is a rare genetic disorder.
this is caused by a deficiency of enzyme sphingomyelinase
which cleaves ceramide-phosphocholine bond of sphingomyelin.
sphingomyelin accumulates in large amounts in
reticuloendothelial system .
niemann-pick disease cells r found in

Answer / swetha
Niemann-Pick diseases are genetic diseases which are
classified in a subgroup of LSDs called sphingolipidoses or
lipid storage disorders in which harmful quantities of fatty
substances, or lipids, accumulate in the spleen, liver,
lungs, bone marrow, and brain. In the classic infantile type
A variant, a missense mutation causes complete deficiency of
sphingomyelinase.
