Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the SPG3A gene encoding the novel GTPase atlastin have recently been implicated in causing autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (ADHSP) in six unrelated families. The phenotype of affected individuals in all cases has been of an early onset uncomplicated form of the disease. One particular missense mutation, R239C, in exon 7 of SPG3A has been identified in three of these families. We...
