Description
Summary:<p>In (a), a comparison of FLAIR histograms using the normalized signal intensity (nSI) from the age-based first and fourth quartiles of healthy controls. The histograms for the FLAIR nSI from the younger adult Fabry and control cohorts are shown in (b). Similar comparisons using histograms from bound-pool fraction maps (<i>f</i>-maps) are shown in (c) and (d), respectively. Distribution of values consistent with gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) are shown. Associations between age and fractional anisotropy (FA; e) and mean diffusivity (MD, f) demonstrate a decrease and increase, respectively in the Fabry cohort with similar trends in controls. Comparisons of fractional anisotropy (g) and mean diffusivity (h) between cohorts shows differences increased in the older cohort. ns = not significant, *<i>P</i> < 0.05, **<i>P</i> < 0.01, ***<i>P</i> < 0.001.</p>
