## Communicated by Christine Van Broeckhoven Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by lower-limb spasticity, hyperreflexia, progressive spastic gait abnormalities, and an extensor-plantar response. It is genetically very heterogeneous, with 28 Human Genome
We set up a new denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC)-based protocol to screen patients with autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (AD-HSP) for mutations in SPG4. Six patients had a complicated form and 49 a pure HSP phenotype. We also analyzed 19 unrelated patients pr
