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
## 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__.
## Abstract The most common form of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP), SPG4, is caused by mutations in the spastin gene on chromosome 2p. This disease is characterized by intra‐ and interfamilial phenotypic variation. To determine the predictive values of clinical signs and sy
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) comprise a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and hyperreflexia of the lower limbs. Autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia 4 linked to chromosome 2p (SPG4) is the most co
