โœฆ Synopsis

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 endonuclease cleavage site. It is concordant with the disease in this family. One-hundred-ten unrelated X chromosomes are negative for this mutation. No other sequence defect was found in the PLP exons of the affected males. The cause of disease in this family remains unknown, but the association between this rare mutation and PMD is intriguing. The mutation can serve as a marker for following segregation of the PLP gene.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked degenerative disorder of muscle, caused by gross rearrangements by the dystrophin gene in two-thirds of cases. The remaining one-third of patients may carry more subtle mutations that are difficult to detect because of the large size and complexity of
