Abstract excerpt
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by lower-limb spastic paralysis. We report on a family with three generations of autosomal dominant inheritance of HSP caused by a novel heterozygous splice-site mutation (c.303 + 2 T > C) in REEP1 that was confirmed by RFLP analysis. Carriers of the mutation, including one asymptomatic individual, showed a mild HSP...
