title: Dinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the proteolipoprotein (PLP) gene.
abstract: We report a dinucleotide polymorphism in the first intron of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene with a heterozygosity frequency of 0.69 useful for molecular analysis of families with X-linked neurologic disorders characterized by dysmyelination of the central nervous system, Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease (PMD) and X-linked Spastic Paraplegia (SPG2).
