On the basis of clinical data, it had previously been proposed that the Forsius‐Eriksson syndrome is identical to Nettleship‐Falls X‐linked ocular albinism. We performed biopsies of clinically‐normal skin in patients with the Forsius‐Eriksson syndrome to look for the abnormal melanosomes characteristic of Nettleship‐Falls X‐linked ocular albinism. There were no abnormalities in the melanosomes of patients with Forsius‐Eriksson syndrome. Thus, this syndrome is distinct from the Nettleship‐Falls disorder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
