Orphanet: Farber disease
Farber disease is caused by mutations in the N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase (ASAH1) gene (8p22) which encodes acid ceramidase, a lysosomal enzyme that hydrolyzes ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid. A deficient activity of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of ceramide in most tissues.
Farber Disease: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options
What is Farber Disease? Farber disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ASAH1 gene, which encodes the enzyme acid ceramidase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down ceramide into sphingosine and fatty acids.
