Degree of Hypomyelination and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Findings in Patients with Pelizaeus Merzbacher Phenotype

Abstract excerpt

As only 10 - 30 % of patients with a Pelizaeus Merzbacher disease (PMD) phenotype carry mutations of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene, we were interested if the degree and time-dependent progression of abnormal MRI and MRS findings would discriminate patients with mutations of the PLP gene (Pelizaeus Merzbacher disease, PMD) from patients without a defect of the PLP gene (Pelizaeus Merzbacher-like disease,...
