An Australian standard of care for Niemann-Pick disease Type C
In this issue:
- Niemann–Pick disease type C (NP-C) is relatively common in Australia but often diagnosed late due to varied symptoms, low clinical awareness, and absence from newborn screening, with significant impacts on families.
- A coordinated national effort brought together clinicians, allied health professionals and patient representatives to adapt international guidance for the Australian context.
- The resulting framework includes a diagnostic algorithm, clear referral pathways, and a multidisciplinary care model for disease management.
- It emphasises early recognition, ongoing coordinated care, inclusion of carers, and shared decision-making across disease progression.
- This is the first Australia-specific NP-C standard of care, aiming to improve diagnosis, care quality, and patient and caregiver experiences.
