General Information of Disease (ID: DIS8BKL5)

Disease Name Wolman disease
Synonyms
liposomal acid lipase deficiency, Wolman type; deficiency of cholesterol esterase and triacylglycerol lipase; primary familial xanthomatosis with adrenal calcification; familial xanthomatosis; familial visceral xanthomatosis; primary familial xanthomatosis; lysosomal acid lipase deficiency; acid lipase deficiency; Wolman xanthomatosis; Wolman's disease; Wolman's or triglyceride storage type III disease; Wolman disease with hypolipoproteinemia and acanthocytosis; acid esterase deficiency; xanthomatosis, familial
Definition
Wolman disease represents the most severe manifestation of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency. Milder phenotypes as a whole are referred to as cholesterol ester storage disease. The acid lipase enzyme plays an essential role in lysosomal hydrolysis of both esterified cholesterol and triglycerides of lipoproteic origin. In Wolman disease, the rarest form of acid lipase deficiency, these lipids accumulate in most tissues.
