Abstract excerpt
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is an extremely heterogeneous disease caused by mutations of numerous genes leading to lower limb spasticity (pure forms) that can be accompanied by neurological symptoms (complex forms). Despite recent advances, many causal mutations in patients remain unknown. We identified a consanguineous family with the early-onset HSP. Whole-exome sequencing revealed homozygosity for a...
