Abstract excerpt
We used a combined approach of whole-exome sequencing and candidate mutation validation to identify the disease-causing gene in a hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) patient with lower motor neuron involvement, mild cerebellar signs and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum. HSP is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by degeneration of the corticospinal tract motor...
