Figure 1

Intestinal endoscopy after a 12-hour fast. In contrast to what is observed in a normal subject (a), video-endoscopy of the duodenum (D3) of patient AD2 (b), shows the typical « white hoary frosting » on the small intestinal mucosa. In contrast with a normal subject (c), light microscopy of the duodenal biopsy from AD2 (d) shows the typical vacuolated enterocytes (black arrows) that stain positively with oil red O (e, black arrows). Note the typical heterogeneous aspect of the villi either fat loaded (black arrows) or without lipid droplets (white arrows). Goblet cells are normal (d, arrow g). (c ×100; d ×400; e ×200)
