“…Although heterozygous female carriers are either asymptomatic or exhibit milder symptoms, especially corneal opacity [3], some cases with serious neurological complications have also been reported [3,13].

In order to learn more about the nerve lesions of patients with different genotypes of Fabry's disease, we performed a quantitative morphological light-and electron-microscopic study of sural nerve specimens obtained from two patients, one male and one female.…”
