Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify a novel disease gene in 2 families with autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). METHODS: We used whole-exome sequencing to identify the underlying genetic disease cause in 2 families with apparently autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia. Endogenous expression as well as subcellular localization of wild-type and mutant protein were studied to support the pathogenicity of...
