title: MvaI polymorphism in the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene.
abstract: We report a rare polymorphism in the human proteolipid protein (PLP) gene. A synonymous mutation, 168 A-->G, was detected in exon 2 of the PLP gene. Mutations in this gene have been reported in some cases of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.
