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. Β© 2006 Movement Disorder Society

We have reinvestigated a large kindred identified over 25 years ago segregating for a form of pure autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). We have examined additional relatives in order to refine the clinical and genetic characteristics of this disorder, and performed an analysis to
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
