Fingerprint profiles in lymphocytic vacuoles of mucopolysaccharidoses I-H, II, III-A, and III-B

Acta Neuropathol. 1981;55(3):247-9. doi: 10.1007/BF00691325.

Abstract

Fingerprint (FP) profiles in vacuolated lymphocytes of mucopolysaccharidoses I-H, II, III-A, and III-B are a numerically rare, but possibly consistent finding as they have not been seen in vacuolated lymphocytes of other non-neuronal lipofuscinosis (NCL) lysosomal diseases. Their nosologic significance is not clear, but they may be as non-specific as tubular inclusions in lymphocytes and they are identical to those FP profiles seen in juvenile NCL.
