SLS group: patients 1–9; control group: patients 10–26; age in years; anatomical site of biopsy: T, trunk; F, forearm. The length of the resultant vector of region 6 (0.6–0.72 µm) in arbitrary units. The last column with the result of the discriminant analysis after jackknife procedure based on the resultant vector f region 6.
