Abstract
The main topic discussed during the Prague Symposium on Niemann- Pick disease in 1982 was the prominent heterogeneity of the chemical pathology of the complex urgently calling for revision of the original Croker’s scheme (Croker, 1961) in which all the types were considered as sphingomyelinoses differing only in the degree of storage of the critical lipid (Elleder and Jirasek, 1983). Recent biochemical investigations on Niemann- Pick disease explained its chemical heterogeneity in terms of enzymology, i.e. succeeded in finding out the metabolic error of the second part of the Niemann-Pick disease complex (Butler et al., 1987)
