Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular diagnosis of hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) is a difficult task due to great clinical and genetic heterogeneity. We aimed to characterize clinical and molecular findings of HSP families from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; and to evaluate the diagnostic yield of a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel with twelve HSP-related genes. METHODS: A consecutive series of HSP index cases with...
