Two additional diseases, Pompe's disease and Pelizaeus‐Merzbacher disease, have been shown to demonstrate cellular metachromasia. In addition, our studies of metachromasia in fibroblasts from skin biopsies taken from patients with a variety of other disorders are described and our impression of the limited usefulness of metachromasia is discussed.
