Abstract excerpt
The myelin-deficient (md) rat is one of several X-linked animal mutants that have severe dysmyelination in the central nervous system. It appears in all to be the result of mutations in the myelin proteolipid protein gene which is located on the long arm of the X-chromosome. To identify the md rat mutation, we isolated and sequenced cDNAs corresponding to PLP and DM-20 mRNAs from the brain of hemizygous affected...
