[edit] I

I may be wrong, but I feel this sentence has a grammatical issue

Both types C1 and C2 Niemann-Pick disease are most commonly characterized by onset of ?? in childhood, although infant and adult onsets are possible.

Onset of what? If its correct, is it possible to make it more available as I can't sincerely be sure I am getting the message.

Due to the inherited genetic nature of this disease, the beginning of the diesease cannot be specifically attributed to one factor other than the defective genes in the affected individual. It may have something to do with the failure of cholesterol transport. Due to the number of competiting theories as to why the cholesterol transport fails in the first place, it is difficult to pinpoint one cause for the disease. Maybe a physician could help explain further? Sterichinderance 03:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggesting link to http://www.hideandseek.org/

There is a new organization called "Hide & Seek" that offers a great deal of information and support on all Lysosomal Diseases, including Niemann-Pick. They have an extremely prestigious international advisory board and I think their site would be a valuable link to include on this page.

It's http://www.hideandseek.org/
