Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: From Genes, Cells and Networks to Novel Pathways for Drug Discovery
22 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a diverse group of Mendelian genetic disorders affecting the upper motor neurons, specifically degeneration of their distal axons in the corticospinal tract. Currently, there are 80 genes or genomic loci (genomic regions for which the causative gene has not been identified) associated with HSP diagnosis. HSP is therefore genetically very heterogeneous. Finding treatments for...
