  Niemann-Pick disease is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting lipid metabolism (the breakdown and use of fats and cholesterol in the body), in a way which causes harmful amounts of lipids to accumulate in the spleen, liver, lungs, bone marrow, and brain.

  There are three variants of Niemann-Pick disease based on the genetic cause and the symptoms exhibited by the patient.

  This disease is extremely rare; in fact, under 1,500 people have been diagnosed with Type C of this disease around the world.citation needed
