| Allelic Variant 1 |
300401.0014; PELIZAEUS-MERZBACHER DISEASE |
| Identified Mutation |
THR42ILE; Pratt et al. [Am. J. Med. Genet. 58: 70 (1995)] described a thr42-to-ile mutation which they could determine had originated de novo in the X chromosome contributed by the maternal great-grandfather of the propositus. This was determined from the pattern of inheritance of the AhaII polymorphism and a series of microsatellite markers located near PLP on Xq22. |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; nystagmus from birth; respiratory difficulty noted at one month of age; BSAER showed extremely slow conduction velocity with only waves 1 and 2 present bilaterally; MRI scan at age 13 months was extremely abnormal with poor myelination of white matter; EMG showed no involvement of peripheral nervous system; at age 4 years, subject unable to sit, speak, or feed himself; donor subject is hemizygous for a C>T transition at nucleotide 125 in exon 2 of the PLP1 gene [125C>T] resulting in a substitution of isoleucine for threonine at codon 42 [Thr42Ile (T42I)].
