In 4 young patients with Tag-Sachs disease the long bones contained fatty marrow with very few cells instead of the normal marrow with a high cell content. The marrow in the flat bones was normal and contained many cells. These findings support the view that the process of degeneration in amaurotic family idiocy does not only affect the C.N.S., but other organs as well. This seems to justify the claim that Tag-Sachs disease should be counted among the so-called storage diseases.
