## Abstract We describe a Brazilian family in which inheritance of a G106R mutation in the __SPG6__ gene (also know as __NIPA1__) resulted in an autosomal dominant form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (ADHSP). Clinical investigations indicated that this family has a pure form of spastic paraplegia

## 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__.
Mutations in the SPG7 gene encoding a mitochondrial protein termed paraplegin, are responsible for a recessive form of hereditary spastic paraparesis. Only few studies have so far been performed in large groups of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) patients to determine the frequency of SPG7 mutati
