Abstract excerpt
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 presenting with an HSP phenotype (pure in 17 and complicated in two subjects) but no clear family history, as such...
