High frequency of partial <i>SPAST</i> deletions in autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia
12 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease. The most frequent cause of autosomal dominant HSP is mutation of SPAST (SPG4 locus), but additional pedigrees remain mutation negative by conventional screening despite linkage to SPG4. OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of genomic copy number aberrations of SPAST in autosomal dominant HSP. METHODS: We...
