Neuropathological studies reveal distinct neuronal storage patterns in patients with Fabry disease, suggesting unique cellular interactions.

This research aims to characterize the neuronal involvement in Fabry disease through immunocytochemical methods.
Performed neuropathological histochemical studies on brains and spinal cords of 2 Fabry disease patients.
Used Luxol fast blue staining and electron microscopy for neuronal deposit analysis.
Applied a monoclonal antibody reactive with ceramide trihexoside to assess neuronal deposition.
Luxol fast blue-positive deposits found in blood vessels and certain neurons in various brain regions.
Electron microscopy revealed lamellar cytoplasmic neuronal inclusion bodies.
Neuronal deposition of ceramide trihexoside was more extensive than indicated by Luxol-fast blue staining.

Veber et al. (1992) studied this question.
