Abstract

Laboratory diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders, especially sphingomyelinase deficiency (Niemann-Pick disease type A/B) and Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) can be challenging. We therefore aimed to analyse the feasibility of first-step screening with specific chitotriosidase cut-off values in children
