Autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia (ADSP) is a genetically heterogenous disorder. To date, 3 loci of ADSP have been identified on chromosome 2p, 14q, and 15q, but specific gene mutations remain unknown. To determine the genetic background of ADSP in the Japanese, we studied a large 3-generatio...
