Learning disability and oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMGP) gene in neurofibromatosis type 1.

Abstract excerpt

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease where phenotypic heterogeneity is explained by the effect of modifier genes. Thirty to 65% of patients have learning disability. The oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMGP) gene located within the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene might affect the phenotype of learning disability because it is expressed in the brain, and OMGP gene mutations have...
