Abstract
On the basis of clinical data, it had previously been proposed that the Forsius‐Eriksson syndrome is identical to Nettleship‐Falls X‐linked ocular albinism. We performed biopsies of clinically‐normal skin in patients with the Forsius‐Eriksson syndrome to look for the abnormal melanosomes characteristic of Nettleship‐Falls X‐linked ocular albinism. There were no abnormalities in the melanosomes of patients with Forsius‐Eriksson syndrome. Thus, this syndrome is distinct from the Nettleship‐Falls disorder.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
