Abstract excerpt
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by dysmyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). We identified a rare partial duplication of the proteolipid protein 1 gene (PLP1) in a patient with PMD. To assess the underlying effect of this duplication, we examined PLP1 expression in induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells generated from the patient's fibroblasts....
