Abstract excerpt
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) constitute a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized at least by slowly progressive spasticity of the lower limbs. Mutations in REEP1 were recently associated with a pure dominant HSP, SPG31. We sequenced all exons of REEP1 and searched for rearrangements by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in a large panel of 175 unrelated HSP...
