Figure 1

Sensory profile of Fabry patients. The bar graphs show the z-score sensory profiles of quantitative sensory testing (QST) at the left dorsal foot in Fabry patients compared to healthy controls. Healthy controls are represented by the black zero line. Z-scores < 0 display loss of function, z-scores >0 show gain of function. a) Male Fabry patients have elevated detection thresholds for cold and warm (CDT, WDT), while the thermal sensory limen (TSL) for changing temperatures and the vibration detection threshold (VDT) was not different from controls. b) Female Fabry patients do not differ from female controls except for slightly elevated WDT. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
