Abstract Myelin basic protein (MBP) contributes to peripheral and central nervous system myelin. Developmental myelinopathies exist on a clinical spectrum, but MBP is not included on leukodystrophy or CMT gene panels. This ring chromosome 18 case presents serial MRI and EMG/NCS, shedding light on the early clinical course of the disorder.
