Frequent recurrent mutations of the human dystrophin gene lead to Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. Although the approximately 2.5 Mb size of the gene may form a large target for mutations it is not clear to date which mechanisms promote the observed high frequency of spontaneous mutants (1
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) due to mutations in the spastin gene (SPG4) located to 2p22-p21 is the most common form of autosomal dominant (AD) HSP. We performed PCR-based direct sequencing of SPG4, followed by a linkage analysis and subsequent Southern blot analysis in large Japanese kindred
