Abstract excerpt
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are relatively frequent disorders presenting great genetic heterogeneity. The recent identification of mutations in SPG5/CYP7B1 in six autosomal recessive kindred linked to the SPG5 locus on chromosome 8q prompted us to test the relative frequency of SPG5/CYP7B1 variants in 12 families and in sporadic HSP patients by high-resolution melting screening combined with direct...
