Abstract

Conjunctival biopsies from two sibs with mucolipidosis III and from their clinically normal parents were examined by histochemistry and electron microscopy. Connective tissue cells were filled with single membrane-limited vacuoles which frequently contained membranous lamellar material. These findings indicate abnormal mucopolysaccharide and glycolipid accumulation in this disorder and suggest a mechanism for the corneal clouding in these patients.
