A novel proteolipid protein 1 gene mutation causing classical type Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.

Abstract excerpt

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a rare dysmyelinating disorder caused by mutations in the proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) gene. PMD is generally classified according to its clinical or pathological features into classical or connatal forms. We describe here a 19-year-old male with classical form PMD who presented with stridor and nystagmus in early infancy and whose psychomotor development has been severely...
