Default It can still be normed and compared--

--with known values from "normal" patients at that location.

Still, more comprehensive testing would involve the other sites as well--and doing the biopsy at multiple sites might also show whether any reductions in intraepidermal nerve fiber density were dependent on the length of the nerves, which can have some diagnostic value in some cases.
