  • Title: Histochemical detection of the enzyme deficiency in blood films in Wolman's disease.
    Author: Lake BD.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1971 Oct; 24(7):617-20. PubMed ID: 5118828.
    Abstract:
    The clinical diagnosis of Wolman's disease (acid esterase deficiency) can be confirmed by a histochemical staining method using blood films. Acid esterase activity is found normally in lymphocytes, but in Wolman's disease only a very low level of activity can be detected. An intermediate level of activity was demonstrated in heterozygotes. The method may also be applicable in the prenatal detection of the disease.
