Abstract excerpt
SPG10 is an autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) caused by mutations in the gene KIF5A encoding the heavy chain of kinesin, a motor protein implied in motility functions within cells. Most of the KIF5A mutations are clustered in 2 areas of motor domain of the protein, the switch regions I and II, that are necessary for microtubules interaction. The set of mutations in KIF5A described so far...
