*Mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 genes cause a problem with the transport of lipids (fatty substances) in the cell. These lipids then build up in the cells, which causes cell dysfunction. There is further cell dysfunction because the lipids are not taken to the location where they are needed in the cell.
**Pompe is also a glycogen storage disorder.
