Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Spastic paraplegia type 46 (SPG46) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia, caused by mutations in the non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase β2 (GBA2) gene. Worldwide, approximately twenty SPG46 families have been identified so far. CASE REPORT: We describe a compound heterozygous Italian patient carrying a novel (p.Arg879Gln) and a recurrent (p.Arg399 *) GBA2 gene variant. The...
