Nullizygous mutation of this gene causes embryonic lethality. Homozygotes for the P361R mutation die prematurely with growth defects, low acid ceramidase activity, high ceramide levels, histiocyte infiltrates into various organs, Farber bodies, short femur growth plates and altered ovary morphology.
