Default non–length-dependent small-fiber

I encountered an article today about non–length-dependent small-fiber sensory neuropathy. I could not copy it in the Forum.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...mus.22255/full

The article says that patients with NLD-SFSN, often develop SFSN symptoms and signs in a patchy distribution. This can include the face, upper limbs, or trunk before the lower limbs, or the latter may be involved simultaneously. This pattern of distribution suggests that NLD-SFSN most likely represents a ganglionopathy.
Also, it says that non-length dependent neuropathy shows reduction of IENFD on the skin biopsy.

Now I wonder, if my normal skin biopsy would fall under the non-length?
