Molecular Genetic Analysis of the PLP1 Gene in 38 Families with PLP1-related disorders: Identification and Functional Characterization of 11 Novel PLP1 Mutations

Abstract Background The breadth of the clinical spectrum underlying Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Eyeliner disease and spastic paraplegia type 2 is due to the extensive allelic heterogeneity in the X-linked PLP1 gene encoding myelin proteolipid protein (PLP).PLP1 mutations range from gene duplications of variable size found in 60-70% of patients to intragen
