About this Item

This edition was published in Germany, under German copyright. The ISBN listed is for the current edition. "In addition to better information about the classic lipid thesaurismoses Niemann-Pick disease, Gaucher's disease and Tay-Sachs disease, the number of hereditary lipid storage diseases has increased considerably through the recognition of new syndromes such as metachromatic leukodystrophy, Fabry's disease, Refsum's disease (heredopathia atactica polyneuritisformis), a-[Beta]-lipoproteinemia, and Tangier disease. In accordance with our interpretation of the term lipidoses as hereditary disorders of lipid metabolism, a review of secondary hyperlipidemias has not been attempted here."
