Abstract excerpt
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a devastating, X-linked hypomyelinating leukodystrophy caused by mutations in a myelin gene, PLP1. While overwhelming endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress caused by the accumulation of mutant PLP1 is widely recognized, blockade of the apoptotic arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR) failed to rescue the phenotypes in murine disease models, suggesting the involvement of...
