متن کاملDe novo REEP2 missense mutation in pure hereditary spastic paraplegia
Alterations in proteins that regulate endoplasmic reticulum morphology are common causes of hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG1-78, plus others). Mutations in the REEP1 gene that encodes an endoplasmic reticulum-shaping protein are well-known causes of SPG31, a common autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia. A closely-related gene, REEP2, is mutated in SPG72, with both autosomal and recessive inh...
متن کاملMotor and functional evaluation of patients with spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy (SPOAN).
Spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy (SPOAN) is an autosomal recessive complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia, which is clinically defined by congenital optic atrophy, infancy-onset progressive spastic paraplegia and peripheral neuropathy. In this study, which included 61 individuals (age 5-72 years, 42 females) affected by SPOAN, a comprehensive motor and functional eva...
متن کاملHereditary spastic paraplegia: identification of an SPG3A gene mutation in a Chinese family.
Hereditary spastic paraplegias are a heterogeneous group of chronic central motor system disorders, characterised by progressive lower limb spasticity. Hereditary spastic paraplegia is clinically classified into pure and complicated forms, by the absence or presence of additional neurological or extra-neurological features. Hereditary spastic paraplegias follow all modes of inheritance and the ...
متن کاملA case of hereditary spastic paraplegia with demyelinating polyneuropathy.
The hereditary spastic paraplegias are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterised by lower limb spasticity. Although most cases represent a ‘pure’ form, variants with additional ‘complicating’ features have been documented [1]. We report a patient with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) having a demyelinating form of polyneuropathy which has not been previously associated with this condi...
