Abstract excerpt
X-linked hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) present with two distinct phenotypes, pure and complicated. The pure form is characterized by spasticity and gait difficulties but lacks the additional features (nystagmus, dysarthria, mental retardation) present in the complicated form. The complicated form is heterogeneous, caused by mutations of the L1CAM gene at Xq28 (SPG1) or the PLP gene at Xq22 (SPG2) that is...
