Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked recessive hypomyelination disorder caused by mutations in the proteolipid protein 1 gene (PLP1) located on chromosome Xq22. A male patient showed severe developmental delay, pendular nystagmus and laryngeal wheezing. The auditory brain stem response showed only the first wave and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed white matter hypomyelination, suggesting typical PMD. A novel PLP1 mutation, F240L, which was inherited from his mother, was identified.
