[Diagnosis of Fabry's disease]. 1976

A Ulmann, and G Lenoir, and N Baumann, and J P Grünfeld

On the basis of a study of 9 new cases of Fabry's disease (7 hemizygotes and 2 heterozygotes), the authors recall that the disease often presents as a painful syndrome of the extremities but its exact nature usually remains obscure for long periods. The association of such pain with angiokeratomas and the notion of a family history is highly suggestive of the disease. The biochemical possibilities in the diagnosis of the latter are described. All patients underwent transcutaneous renal biopsy. In the 7 hemizygotes and one of the heterozygotes, light microscopy revealed diffuse characteristic vacuolisation of the glomerular cells. In the other heterozygote, the glomerular lesions were very limited, seen only by electron microscopy.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
