Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by lower limb spasticity and weakness, with or without additional symptoms. Mutations in ATP13A2, known to cause Kufor-Rakeb syndrome (KRS), have been recently implicated in HSP. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing was done in a Canada-wide HSP cohort. RESULTS: Three additional patients with homozygous ATP13A2 mutations...
