We identified three families with complicated SPG2 due to three PLP1 mutations. Our study supports the clinically inter-and intra-family heterogeneity of SPG2. The periventricular region WML and cognitive impairment are the most common characteristics. The kinetic tremor in upper limbs was observed in 2/3 families, suggesting the spectrum of PLP1-related disorders is still expanding.
