Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify peripheral nerve abnormalities in hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) due to mutations in the spastin gene (spastic paraplegia 4, SPG4) using standard nerve conduction (NCS) and novel tests of axonal excitability. METHODS: Eleven patients with known mutations in spastin were assessed with NCS for the upper and lower limbs, and axonal excitability testing on the median nerve. RESULTS:...
