Farber lipogranulomatosis;
Farber disease
  Supergrp
Defects in the degradation of sphingomyelin [DS:H00424]
Sphingolipidosis [DS:H00423]
Lysosomal storage disease [DS:H01425]
Description
Farber lipogranulomatosis (FRBRL) is a rare autosomal recessive sphingolipid storage disorder due to the deficient activity of lysosomal acid ceramidase, leading to the accumulation of ceramide in cells and tissues.
