Abstract excerpt
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive lower limb spasticity and weakness. One subtype of HSP, known as SPG54, is caused by biallelic mutations in the DDHD2 gene. The primary pathological feature observed in patients with SPG54 is the massive accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) in the brain. However, the precise mechanisms and roles of...
