Either duplication or deletion of itPLP1-containing genomic regions on chromosome Xq22.2 results in a severe leukodystrophy characterized by deficits of myelination in the central nervous system (itCNS).

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease is a pediatric leukodystrophy causing oligodendrocyte cell death. Nobuta et al. show that mutations in human PLP1 gene cause iron-induced cell death through lipid peroxidation, abnormal iron metabolism, and hypersensitivity to free iron. Iron chelation rescues cell death, offering a therapeutic direction for a disease without current treatments. In Tay–Sachs and other catalytic protein diseases, disease expression is generally due to deficient enzyme activity. In contrast, inherited disorders involving myelin proteins appear to reflect a variety of pathogenetic mechanisms. Pelizaeus–Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a prime example. BACKGROUND. Pelizaeus‐Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a recessive, X‐linked leukoencephalopathy attributed to impaired myelination during central nervous system development, caused by defects in the proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) gene.PMD presents clinical variability, ranging from the severe connatal form to the classic form.
Gupta and colleagues show that transplantation with allogeneic central nervous system stem cells can be performed safely in humans with minimal morbidity. Immunologic data, however, show that neural stem cells can elicit an immune response following transplantation, suggesting the importance of monitoring immunologic parameters. We strive to provide support for families whose child/children have been diagnosed with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease. We do this by offering an internet support group as well as hosting an annual family support conference for these families. In 1885 Pelizaeus 1 described a family affected by a slowly progressive hereditary form of cerebral diplegia characterized by the early development of nystagmus, ataxia, and spasticity. Merzbacher, 2 in 1907, examined pathologically a brain from a relative of the same family who had suffered from the illness which Pelizaeus described. Spielmeyer, 3 in 1913, and Liebers, 4 in 1928, studied Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease can be diagnosed on genetic and clinical criteria. These include: (1) involvement of several males in a lineage in a manner consistent with X-linked recessive inheritance; (2) early nystagmoid movements; (3) precocious psychomotor deterioration; (4) progressive pyramidal, dystonic, and cerebellar signs. We present seven cases from three families and review 148 The disease spectrum for Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and spastic paraplegia type 2 is extraordinarily broad, ranging from a spastic gait in the pure form of spastic paraplegia type 2 to a severely disabling form of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease featuring hypotonia, respiratory distress, stridor, nystagmus, and profound myelin loss.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) and the allelic spastic paraplegia type 2 (SPG2) arise from mutations in the X-linked gene encoding myelin proteolipid protein (PLP). Analysis of mutations affecting PLP, the major protein in central nervous system myelin, has revealed previously unsuspected roles for
