[Crystallographic and molecular structure of trihexosyl-ceramide deposits characteristic of Fabry's disease (particularly the rheumatic form). Digital imaging processing]

The ceramide trihexoside inclusions, which characterize Fabry-Anderson disease, have been studied using electron microscopy and digital image processing. Results are given showing the various apparent periodicities of the inclusion lamellae and the orientation, perpendicular to the lamellae or oblique, of the ceramide molecular component.
