Deep intronic deletion in intron 3 of PLP1 is associated with a severe phenotype of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease

Abstract Recently, altered PLP1 splicing was confirmed as a genetic cause of hypomyelination of early myelinating structures (HEMS). A novel deep intronic deletion in intron 3 of PLP1 (NM_000533.5: c.453+59_+259del) was identified, and an in vitro minigene assay detected abnormal splicing patterns....
