Niemann-Pick type C is a rare genetic disorder which is often misdiagnosed, or goes undetected altogether, due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation.
In collaboration with scientific experts in NPC, Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd has created the NP-C Suspicion Index application. This is a simple-to-use screening tool that has been developed to assist clinicians who are unfamiliar with NP-C to:
- Learn more about the signs & symptoms typically associated with NPC
- Assess the likelihood of a patient having NP-C by quickly calculating the NP-C risk prediction score
- Take the appropriate actions according to the results
- Email the results (Internet connection needed)
- Learn about the visceral, neurological and psychiatric symptoms, including patient videos
- Access the scientific poster of the NP-C Suspicion Index
