Because a homologous myelin protein gene, PMP22, is duplicated in the majority of patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A, PLP gene overdosage may be a important genetic abnormality in PMD and affect myelin formation.

Although this patient might be heterozygous for a mutation of the extraexonic PLP gene sequences or of other unknown X-linked PLP associated genes, we speculate that this case had a dysmyelinating disease with an autosomal recessive trait characterized by the same phenotype as that of PMD.
