A C --> G transversion has been found in exon 3 of the PLP gene of affected males and their mother in a single sibship with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD). The transversion should not result in an amino acid change in the protein but it does result in the loss of a HaeIII restriction endonucleas

We report a G→A transition at nucleotide 431 of the proteolipid protein gene (PLP) results in a nonsense codon in a family with an unusual form of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD). The mutation, which creates a second AluI restriction site, results in a nonsense mutation in PLP. The clinical pictu

## Pelizaeus -Merzbacher disease/X-linked spastic paraplegia (PMD/SPG2) comprises a spectrum of diseases that range from severe to quite mild. The reasons for the variation in severity are not obvious, but suggested explanations include the extent of disruption of the transmembrane portion of the
