Patients with PMD usually present with dystonia, ataxia, progressive spasms, nystagmus, and motor developmental delay, which may be misdiagnosed as cerebral dysplasia. We summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of 4 patients to explore the early diagnosis of PMD. Three male patients from one family and 1 male patient from another family were included. Cases 1 to 3 presented with intellectual disability, motor delays, ataxia, and nystagmus. They were diagnosed with classical PMD via whole-exome and copy number variation (CNV) testing. Case 4, a 1-year-old with similar symptoms, carried a c.737G&gt;A mutation in\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">PLP1<\/jats:italic>\n                    but showed no CNVs. All patients underwent rehabilitation. PMD can be diagnosed early by chromosomal CNV detection.
