Role of genomic architecture in PLP1 duplication causing Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease
14 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Genomic architecture, higher order structural features of the human genome, can provide molecular substrates for recurrent sub-microscopic chromosomal rearrangements, or may result in genomic instability by forming structures susceptible to DNA double-strand breaks. Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a genomic disorder most commonly arising from genomic duplications of the dosage-sensitive proteolipid protein...
