Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Autosomal Recessive Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia with Thin Corpus Callosum (AR-HSPTCC) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous complicated form of spastic paraplegia. Two AR-HSPTCC loci have been assigned to chromosome 15q13-15 (SPG11) and chromosome 8p12-p11.21 respectively. Mutations in the SPG11 gene, encoding the spatacsin protein, have been found in the majority of SPG11...
