Short-chain C6-sphingomyelin is an artificial substrate that was used in an acid sphingomyelinase activity assay for a pilot screening study of patients with Niemann-Pick disease types A and B. Using previously published multiplex and single assay conditions, normal acid sphingomyelinase activity levels (i.e. false negative results) were observed in two sisters with Niemann-Pick B who were compound heterozygotes for two missense mutations, p.C92W and p.P184L, in the SMPD1 gene. Increasing the sodium taurocholate detergent concentration in the assay buffer lowered the activity levels of these two patients into the range observed with other patients with clear separation from normal controls.
短链C6-鞘磷脂是一种人工底物,用于酸性鞘磷脂酶活性测定,以对A型和B型尼曼-匹克病患者进行初步筛查研究。使用先前公布的多重和单一检测条件,在两名尼曼-匹克B型病姐妹中观察到正常的酸性鞘磷脂酶活性水平(即假阴性结果),她们是SMPD1基因中两个错义突变p.C92W和p.P184L的复合杂合子。增加测定缓冲液中牛磺胆酸钠去污剂的浓度,可将这两名患者的活性水平降低到与其他患者观察到的范围内,且与正常对照有明显区分。
