Abstract excerpt
Increased dosage of the proteolipid protein (Plp) gene causes CNS disease (Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease [PMD]), which has many similarities to disorders of the PNS associated with duplication of the peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP22) gene locus. Transgenic mice carrying extra copies of the wild-type Plp gene provide a valid model of PMD. Variations in gene dosage can cause a wide range of phenotypes from...
