Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a rare and progressive condition affecting the central nervous system. [1] It is one of a group of gene-linked disorders known as the leukodystrophies, which are all characterised by myelin sheath abnormalities. This is due to a mutation in the gene that controls the production of a myelin protein called proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1). The exact type of PLP1 ...
متن کاملPelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) can now be defined as an X-linked recessive leukodystrophy that is caused by a mutation in the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene on chromosome Xq22. The most common mutation is gene duplication followed in frequency by missense mutations, insertions, and deletions. The clinical spectrum ranges from severe neonatal cases to relatively benign adult forms and X-link...

متن کاملPelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease 1, and related hypomyelinating disorders.
The purpose of this article is to present contemporary information on the clinical and molecular diagnosis and the treatment of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher's disease (PMD) and related leukodystrophies. Various types of mutations of the X-linked proteolipid protein 1 gene (PLP1) that include copy number changes, point mutations, and insertions or deletions of a few bases lead to a clinical spectrum fro...
متن کاملDemyelination and axonal preservation in a transgenic mouse model of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease
It is widely thought that demyelination contributes to the degeneration of axons and, in combination with acute inflammatory injury, is responsible for progressive axonal loss and persistent clinical disability in inflammatory demyelinating disease. In this study we sought to characterize the relationship between demyelination, inflammation and axonal transport changes using a Plp1-transgenic m...
