## Communicated by Mireille Claustres Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) constitute a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by slowly progressive spasticity of the lower extremities. Only a few different mutations in the SPG10 gene, KIF5A, have been described in pure d

Three dominantly inherited "pure" form of familial spastic paraplegia (FSP) genes have been genetically mapped to regions of chromosomes, yet no specific genes or mutations have been identified (FSPI ; chromosome 14q, FSP2; chromosome 2p and FSP3; chromosome 15q). We studied a "pure" form of autosom
## 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__.
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) describes a heterogeneous group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders in which the cardinal pathological feature is upper motor neurone degeneration leading to progressive spasticity and weakness of the lower limbs. Using samples from a large Omani family we re
The autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegias (AD-HSP) are a heterogeneous group of degenerative disorders of the central motor system, characterized by progressive spasticity of the lower limbs. Five loci for pure AD-HSP have been identified to date: SPG3 at 14q, SPG4 at 2p, SPG6 at 15q, SP
