Abstract excerpt
The hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are a heterogeneous group of conditions in which the main feature is a progressive spastic paraparesis. Mutations in the receptor expression enhancing protein 1 (REEP1) gene have recently been reported to be associated with an autosomal dominant HSP phenotype (SPG31). The objective of this study was to identify the frequency of REEP1 mutations in both autosomal dominant...
