Abstract excerpt
Myelination in the CNS depends on the ability of oligodendrocytes (Ols) to efficiently colonize the brain, differentiate, and express a precise balance of specific genes necessary for myelin synthesis. Mutations in these genes produce different types of dysmyelination in animal as in human. Defects in the synthesis of myelin constituents usually lead to mild dysmyelinations. IN contrast, mutations affecting the...
