Abstract excerpt
The hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) comprise a group of genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we evaluated the spectrum and frequency of mutations in the CYP7B1, PNPLA6 and C19orf12 genes (causative for the subtypes SPG5A, SPG39 and SPG43, respectively) in a cohort of 63 unrelated HSP patients with suspected autosomal recessive inheritance. Two novel homozygous mutations (one...
