Abstract excerpt
A total of eight loci for autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (ADHSP) has been mapped to chromosome 14q, 2p, 15q, 8q, 10q, 12q, 19q, 2q, respectively, among which the SPG4 gene on chromosome 2p21-22 encoding spastin, an ATPase of the AAA family, accounts for 40-50% of all ADHSP families and is expressed in both adult and fetal tissues. In this work, we reveal a novel insertion mutation in exon 11 of...
