A new mutation in GJC2 associated with subclinical leukodystrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Recessive mutations in GJC2, the gene-encoding connexin 47 (Cx47), cause Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease type 1, a severe dysmyelinating disorder. One recessive mutation (p.Ile33Met) has been associated with a much milder phenotype--hereditary spastic paraplegia type 44. Here, we present evidence that a novel Arg98Leu mutation causes an even milder phenotype--a subclinical leukodystrophy. The Arg98Leu mutant...
