    Am J Hum Genet 61:139-42. 1997
    ..Carstea et al. have reported that the NPC gene maps to this same site; therefore we suggest that NPC and NPD likely result from mutations in the same gene...

    W L Greer
    Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia
    Am J Hum Genet 63:52-4. 1998
    ..We have identified a point mutation within this gene (G3097-->T; Gly992-->Trp) that shows complete linkage disequilibrium with NPD, confirming that NPD is an allelic variant of NPC1...

    ..0) maps to proximal 18q. Furthermore, inter-Alu fingerprinting shows a clear overlap between WC18.0 and WC18.1, thereby establishing a complete contig between D18S44 and markers from WC18.1...

    W L Greer
    Department of Pathology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
    Clin Genet 55:248-55. 1999
    ..Our work supports the finding that NPD is an allelic variant of NPC1, and illustrates the power of large kindreds, which are common in Atlantic Canada and other relatively isolated areas, for gene mapping and identification...

    W L Greer
    Department of Pathology, Division of Molecular Pathology and Molecular Genetics, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
    Am J Hum Genet 65:1252-60. 1999
    ..That 7 of a total of 13 NPC1 missense mutations are concentrated in this single Npc1-specific domain suggests that integrity of this region is particularly critical for normal functioning of the protein...
