Biochemical studies on myelin isolated from the brains of patients with Down's syndrome.
Amyelination has been deduced from the data on chemical studies of myelin isolated from the brains of Down's syndrome. The lack of cholesterol and much reduced phosphohydrolase activity in mongol myelin possibly suggest a fault in the structure of myelin.
