Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant pure hereditary spastic paraplegia (ADPHSP) is clinically characterized by slowly progressive lower-limb spasticity. The condition is genetically heterogeneous, and loci have been mapped at chromosomes 2p, 8q, 14q, and 15q. We have performed a genomewide linkage screen on a large family with ADPHSP, in which linkage to all four previously known loci was excluded. Analysis of markers on...
