## Abstract We describe a Japanese family in which inheritance of a novel mutation p.A100T in __SPG6__ resulted in an autosomal dominant form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (ADHSP). Clinical investigation showed a pure form of HSP. Our study demonstrates further allelic heterogeneity of __SPG6__.
Over fifty missense mutations in the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene have been reported in families with presenile familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). We describe a novel missense mutation (G209R) within the predicted fourth transmembrane domain of the PSEN1 in a Japanese family with presenile FAD. The af
Autosomal dominant myotonia congenita or Thomsen's disease (OMIM\* 160800) and autosomal recessive myotonia congenita or Becker's (OMIM\* 255700) are rare nondystrophic disorders due to allelic mutations of the muscle chloride channel gene, CLCN1. We have analysed all 24 exons of the CLCN1 gene, in
The enzyme deficiency causes the intralysosomal accumulation of glycosphingolipids. The affected hemizygotes manifest acroparethesis, angiokeratoma, hypohidrosis, corneal opacities, and progressive vascular diseases of the kidney, heart, and brain. The human a-Gal A cDNA (Bishop et al., 1986) and ge
